Cerchi in lega 'Lancia' sconosciuta

[MAIS]

After many years of ownership, I’m still trying to find the origin of the alloy wheels of my Fulvia (imported from Italy in 1999). The only thing I know is that they are Lancia wheels because on the back of it has written ’’LANCIA’’.
I presume these wheels must have been ‘afterparts’ (from the 70’s, 80’s?) but I never saw them before in any (Lancia) model. Who???...

Grazie!
Miguel

PS: and no… they are not from a VW Beetle.. They look more a less the same, but they are not the same. The Beetle wheels are flat and have no central hole.

never seen before in many years.
But they look fine.

strano, io ho quasi le stesse, ma con scritte alfa romeo, e sembrano BWA, se ricordo bene.

That's indeed strange, 70's or 80's?

By the way, I found last week another Fulvia (see picture) with the same wheels at this site http://amicifulvia.forumattivo.com/t358 ... da-francia

... and no, they are not the same
The above wheels have a central hub, mine don't, just a hole... Very frustrating after almost 20 years of ownership...(td)

Miguel, non parlo inglese, quindi forse non riesci a capire la mia risposta. Quei cerchi non sono mai stati montati, in origine su nessuna Fulvia. Forse saranno stati adottati su altre Lancia più moderne, come Delta, 037, o S4. Non ne ho idea. Ma sulle Fulvia mai.Poi bisognerebbe vedere se le Lancia che ho citato prima, hanno i fori delle colonnette distanti come quelli della Fulvia. Di sicuro questa distanza era uguale nelle Fulvia e nelle vecchie VW, come maggiolino e maggiolone.

Miguel,
In case you don't understand what acca effe said:
"Miguel, I do not speak English, so maybe you will not understand my answer. Those wheels were never originally mounted on a Fulvia. Perhaps they may have been made for a more modern Lancia, such as Delta, 037, or S4. I have no idea. But never for a Fulvia. You should verify if wheels for those other Lancias have the same bolt circle as those of Fulvia. After all, this bolt circle was the same as the old VW Beetle."

Personally, I've never seen those wheels mounted on a Fulvia. And looking at the casting, the letters "Lancia" are not aligned and there's no manufacturer's name cast in, all of which suggests to me that these wheels were not made by a major manufacturer.

Dear Acca and Ed, thank you very much for you comments (and the kind translation!). You are probably right, it could very well be an aftermarket wheel. They are similar to the beetle but not the same. I ve never seen them before, even in other Lancias.

eppure io ho visto una fulvia con quei cerchi.

Grazie Gioele. Le ruote devono essere originari dal 60 o 70 perché hanno scritto 'Lancia' e le dimensioni (PCD 4x130mm) sono adatti solo per Fulvia e Flavia.
