Was browsing the brochure for the new model year (MY21) online and found that the new wheel option is not the same design as the previous years. What’s the verdict on the new wheels y’all?
I completely agree about the hassle of cleaning wheels that are more intricate in design, but am a glutton for punishment as you can see from the aftermarket set of wheels I went with for my current QV lolHate to sound like a housewife but they would be a nightmare to clean. Part of the attraction of current QV teledials is how easy they are to clean. I can get everywhere with just a mitt on hand and what’s more do it quickly. It takes about a minute per wheel for ceramic coated regularly cleaned wheels. Just a brush twirl for the nut holes.
here both the support area and the nut area are tricky washing shapes. I’d say 5 minute plus per wheel for regular washes if coated and if you neglect it - a nightmare to deep clean. For me anything that is hard to clean just ends up left dirty longer term and that defeats the purpose of nice wheels.
Aesthetically, I love the centre section - that is seriously good looking, but the supports on the perimeter distract from the clean dial shapes - too busy.
Those wheels are not the same design or size, but are cool nonetheless.This wheels are already available on ebay for quite some time: 4 Cerchi in lega Compatibili Alfa Romeo Stelvio Brera 159 Giulia da 20" NUOVI! | eBay
