Three month wait !!!!  I was told two to three weeks (still awaiting formal advice)

I went to see the Team Dynamics in the flesh at a local Lotus service centre and measured the centrecaps - the plain black ones where about 52mm - so those ebay one should be a glue on jobbie - just a thought

I saved that photo from the Italian Forum so I was unsure as how these were carried out

Ta

Cheers Aus

I will look into that.

The guy i picked my wheels up from on Friday told me three months, he deals mainly with rimstock who make the team dynamic wheels.
I got the last of the 4 wheel castings they had left for the 500, it took 2 months for them to paint them ::)
Make sure the ones you order are a direct fit for the 500 and that you dont need spigot rings, the wheels with
spigot rings are easier to get hold of.

    Ive just ordered a set of 1.2S, said 3-4 weeks delivery.

    They look great on your car so looking forward to getting them (and the car!) now.

    They told me 2 weeks just need painting. ;D
    Worth the wait. The way the wheel stands out another 10mm improves the look i think.

    agreed, et28? think I asked for et30 but I am sure they will just give me whatever suits!

    Are yours 17 x 7.5" wide?

    Yep 17 x 7.5, the wheel will come with a ET28 offset.

    Just got notification from my wheel supplier

    Currently there is a 6-7 week wait on the castings - will probably place an order in the next day or two

    The Abarth "special" that was made for a particular tuner is no longer available but you customise the PCD and (apparently) ET

    I'm glad I got in on those wheels early on, we got ours about a week after ordering them :P As for centre caps, really annoying trying to get different ones, and if theres a lot of heavy braking (track day is how I found out) they shrink and fall out, I almost lost on but a marshall brought it up for me, now it spins a bit loose in the wheel. I'm thinking of just getting a set of 4 stickers made up with abarth logo to fit mine, think it will be easier than finding 52mm caps

    Wheels look great, location looks greater lol

    The White looks a better match than the standard SS wheels but could just be me or the photo's anyone else agree?

    Joe mentioned this when we got the wheels on, its not a bad match, funny how the car changes its whiteness in different lights, tonight the car looks creamier and the wheels look more White ???

    Nibor.
    Have you used the standard Team dynamic centre cap, i cant seem to get the rear ones to fit :(
    Front ones are ok, rear wheel hub is slightly different though.

    Yeah mine fit all round, although the back ones are a little looser and spin easily if you twist with your hand, it was also one of the rears that fell off on track, but since then (about 6 months of road driving, about 8-10k miles) theres been no issues with them, try giving them a good wack?

    They Were taken at thorpe marsh, its a decomissioned power station in barnby dun, just down the road from us. All that is left are the towers. They cant knock the towers down as its conservation land, with loads of protected animals around the site.
    The river don is on one side of the bank and the canal on the other, it was fun trying to turn the cars around to get back ofF the bank, it wasnt much wider than the car gulp
