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?Originally Posted by Guy Mayers
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.

Cheers Craig - happy to stand corrected!
There's also the sand cast magnesium coffin spokes I got from Sparwald. Unless they're one of the above? I think they were cast in northern Italy, but I'm not sure?
If these where cast in northern Italy they could be for sure Marvic ones ; the foundry is situated in Brunello ( village north of Milano about 1 hour driving)
From the pic seems to be as they didn't have any steel "cone" pressed into every fixing hole as others brands?????
