wheel choice
Having trouble choosing between Serpent autosport Type 3 five spoke or Ronal's R41 five spoke. I would like to stay with 16 inch diameter...
Is this large enough for a Wildwood big brake upgrade or other upgrades?

x-rad,
If you want a brake upgrade and wheel change, you need to plan the job together because the spokes may foul the calipers. Daniel has just completed a conversion for my race car and you cannot do one without the other. Trust me.
Also keep and eye on the offsets. The wheels you have chosen may or may not work depending on your choice of rotors and calipers.
16" rims give good clearance.

Finally got everything together and went out for a 3 hour drive...
Just in case you are wondering, I am parked on a hill making the front look higher. Even with 225's all around, there is no rubbing at all, no problem turning, wheels and tire fit nicely into wheel well.
35mm offset
These tires do NOT have a significant wheel guard rubber edge on sidewall so be careful parking!
Wheels are through a distributer in New Jersey. If you want to contact him, pm me. He has been VERY helpful and a real Alfa fan.

- might go with 45 series next time, but these tires were actually about 1/2 inch greater diameter than original fronts
