Well, if you call four "plenty", then yes.

 

My first ever eBay purchase was a single alloy to replace one I had
fucked by hitting a kerb. Luckily, the auction was there just when I
needed it and it cost me £15 (plus £15 p+p).

I spent the next two years watching eBay to get another as a spare, but
a single wheel of the same design never turned up in that time.

I did consider buying a set and selling a couple of them separately,
but sold the car before I got the requisite tuit.

 

Just for completion, I managed to find one today from the people that
sold me the car.

£150.

That stung, but not as much as the £400 RRP would have. In typical
Italian fashion, that style of wheel was only fitted to the 3.2l GT,
which was never very popular and is no longer even made.

I will be doing this.

Oh you can get them, from Alfa. £400 each

Set of four for 350 quid: http://link.marktplaats.nl/305607010

 

Set of four *different* wheels. That's easy

Seriously, they are not the same. Look at the centre.

Oh yeah, I was so busy counting spokes I didn't notice.

 

Closest match to date, though.
