Listerbell wheels are in 17´´ ( I have these on my Corse with cheap Falken tires) and Hawk in 15´´ that is more expensive for tires ( michelin TB 15 or Avon are more pricy!)Originally Posted by AVFC80
A good reason for choosing Image wheels provided by LTR!!

Listerbell wheels are easily available and looking great and big enough in the wheel arches!
Don't think the Hawk wheels will fit the LB?
The Hawk ones are the right size at 15 inch but the tyres can be a tad expensive.
The LB ones are three piece I think, 16 and/or 17 inch so tyres are more available.

Why ever not?
Hawk wheels will fit the LB, there are two cars out there fitted with them, one in France & one in the US. You do need to go with the 5 x 108 Ferrari fitment nowadays though rather than the 5 x 98 Alfa fitment.
It appears that there are many options for coffin spoke wheels & all appear to be slightly different in construction.
Manufacturers are-
Hawk, 15" pressure cast aluminium
Roin, 15" CNC billet aluminium
TMB Racing, 15" Aluminium (unsure if sand cast or pressure cast)
Marvic, 15" sand cast Magnesium
Alfaholics, 15" Magnesium
Lister Bell, 16"F,16"R Stradale, 16"F 17"R Gp4, 2 piece, cast aluminium outer, spun aluminium inner.
All can be made to fit all variants & all have different foibles which would take too long to detail right now.

I am +1 +1 with you Frederic !!!!
LB wheels are avaible any time and can be done to suit any supensions uprights and wishbones and being In 2 parts if there is any damage can be repaired for less $$$ !!!
I think they can be ordered with any color too ( others is probably" again" a question of more $$$$)
Beside the fact my first mount is 15" Marvic ( because of kilos saved )and very pricy wide Michelin ; I am in the project to buy an other set but 16" and 17" Gr4 Listerbell wheels just actually trying to find which brand of tyre to fit ( to have sort of wet and road tyres)
Real dream for LB wheels will be to have them with Magnesium the option

Cheers Craig - happy to stand corrected!
Iirc, Lister bells uprights and suspension can accept a hawk 15 inch coffin spoke but the hawk wheels are HEAVY. Sold on my hawk wheels for that reason.

Absolutly exact ; they are 9/ 11 kg heavier compared to Marvic so I saved more or less 40 kg on my project !!!!
Not just the benefit of total weight loss but also the reaction of the dampers, it's unsprung weight, best place you could lose it from.
