I must admit i am a little nervous about 225/50/15 on 15x7 rims on the Alfetta.  They will fill the wheel space awfully well and the guards will probably require rolling.  I had driven a 116 with fat wheels n tyres and didnt like it much at all.

I also have a nice set of 14x6 rims thet require painting that i can fit 185 or 195/60/14 Toyos to that would result in a "Group S' compliance and not take any 'feel' away from the steering and be a cheaper end result for me which i do need to be mindful of.

Then i could sell the Simmons B45 15x7's to pay for the 14x6 tyres. - any offers?

Some of the International Alfa parts companies have whole replacement upholstery sets.  Try International Auto Parts, Highwood Alfa, Alfaholics.  Exchange rate won't help this argument though.

The ebay Toyo's are ex Perth, Tassie, not Perth, WA sadly (typo) as trucking cost will be too high but a little birdy has put me onto another source of "used" "R" spec tyres ex MEL which will at least be cheaper than ex Tassie to Perth.

hmmm, interesting.  I saw your reply but not the link so went on eBay and found the same set.

See, you're not just a pretty face hey Bro?  Sweet as!

cheers Scott n Green,
i intend to keep the B45's on permanently Scott so i was concerned about wear when min 60% of the time at least will be on the road, rather than track and based on that i thought i might be able to spend around $500 a set.

I was always intending to buy TOYOs and i had RA1s on the sprint before but for 15x7, cost for R888s is about $1000 so will take a lot longer to fund and I really wanna get out on the track ASAP.

So, i was really hoping to find something mid-range, medium-soft road tyre as opposed to "R"s. 
RA1's might be cheaper than R888s which are about the cheapest "R" spec going 'round. 
I'll check with "my dealer"

OK,
I have a set of 15x7 Simmons B45's that i want to put some new tyres on.  i was going to fit "R" specs but this car will be 60% road, 40% track and I am on a budget (well no money actually).

Is there a cheap but decent sticky road tyre that is sticky enough for occasional circuit work - regularity but not too quick to wear when mostly used on the road?  That way i can fit these lovely wheels to my Alfetta GTV sooner rather than later / never.

What about P6's, GT's?  I think some VIC members have fitted a Bridgestone of sorts and maybe buffed as an interim step before committing to "R"s.

Cheapest "R"s are TOYO which are popular over here in the Wild West but still $1000 for a set of 225/15s.

Sorry to dissapoint you but 105 wheels are not 4x98 so wont fit.

What's your budget?  i have a set of 14x6 "Vegas" to suit a 105 sitting in Melbourne.
