My Alfa Romeo 147 GTA.

[mjf93]

Yea there is under 300 GTA's in the uk now, iirc only 164 or something 147GTA's. The Mk1 RS's best run was 14.03 @ 99mph, he's running just over 260bhp plus they only weigh something like 1200 don't they? There were 2 Mk2 RS's running to, standard one got 14.40 @ 100mph and the other (420bhp) ran a 13.83 @ 109mph!

Kind comments are much appreciated

Love this car, really would like a 147 GTA, but I couldn't live with the economy while I'm still at Uni, so 182 will have to do for now . Interesting that you were only 0.1 off the mk2 RS, I think they are really over hyped, they don't impress me at all lol

I was following a 156 GTA the other day. Sounds amazing tbh.

Where I live there's a company called Alfaholics - http://www.alfaholics.com/. Not sure if they're well known? But I always see loads of lovely alfa's about.

Went for a hoon with a GTA on Sunday morning, you officially need these wheels imho:

Those wheels do look nice!! I've not seen them on one before.

 

[Daz.]

OOooo nice wheels!

I'm currently in convo with the guy who owns that GTA on the the alfa forum.. Speaking about alternative wheels

Those wheels are nice but I much prefer the 18" alfa "jet fins" wheels below

...OR I'm debating these bad boy's, 8.75" /9.75" wide!

Cheers.

The ones Dave posted look too soft for the car.
I aint sure if the XXR's will go well with your car imo.

 

[cat171]

Those multispoke ones look nice too.

Found a picture of the GTA at the 1/4mile the other weekend..

Love this car! Hard to believe its knocking on 10 years old!

I also prefer the multi spokes mate

 

[jamier27]

Still one of the nicest hatches ever IMO.

 

[imprezaworks]

Sound awesome these. Scares me the cost of if and when they break

 

[david1987]

Wow what a car

personally i love the black wheels too!

 

[Trophy144]

this car is great, i personally like the wheels its on they suit the car well. And there different to every other wheel out there which is a good thing imo

 

[Ant1]

I actually prefer the Alfa over the RS. Looks very nice.

do not play with the wheels, this car suits oem only!

 

[Šįk]

Much appreciated guys! Yea she's getting on now being 10years old. Not a thing gone wrong as yet, which is good! Aslong as you keep ontop of them they'll look after you IMO.. Like with any car.

still rolling on the OEM wheels as we speak too

Just seen this on Pistonheads.

Are you selling? or is someone using your pics?

 

[Šįk]

No unfortunately it is regrettably up for sale due to unforeseen personal reasons.

 

[McGherkin]

Gutted :dapprove:
