14" Iron Cross Wheels - Value?

[vespaholic]

My recently acquired 1979 X1/9 came with an extra set of Cromodora wheels.
5 1/2" X 14"
I'll never use them.
Can someone help me out with a value on these?
The car is wearing a set of Cromodora CD-30 wheels.
13" X 5.5"
I'll probably want to get rid of those as well.
A value on those would be helpful too.
I'd like to source a set of factory steel wheels, rings, center caps & lugs to put the car back to factory spec.
Thanks!

Those 14" Cromodora wheels are pretty rare. They came on the 81 anniversary edition of the spider. Supposedly only 1000 cars were made.

Rare is good!!
What should I ask for them?
I also have the center caps and there are decent Yokahama tires mounted and balanced.

your best bet is to sell them locally. The tires, well might be useful to a local buyer but shipping used tires is very expensive.

If you are going for originality, I can understand going back to the stock wheels. However, keep in mind that you will be adding a fair amount of unsprung weight to each wheel. My stock steel wheels and tires weigh considerably more than my alloy wheels and significantly wider 185-60/13 tires. The stock wheels are also narrower so that could limit tire options unless you are going for the stock size. Finally, and this is just a personal opinion, I think the 79 had about the ugliest stock wheels of them all. They look better in photos than up close.

CD 30s are one of the better wheels on an X looks wise, in my opinion.

These were used/offered on the 1981 Fiat Brava. Seen them on Pininfarina Spider.

The CD 30’s do look great!!
I agree.
I like the factory steel wheels as well.
That’s the good thing about wheels and tires.
20 minutes and they can be swapped.
Here are a couple pictures of my car.

Hop on over to www.mirafiori.com if you haven't already. Those guys and gals would be interested in the 14" Cromodoras.

@fastfiat81 Thanks. I just posted them there. I appreciate the lead!

Does anyone know the offset and/or back spacing of the wheels in my original post?
A potential buyer is asking.
I know i could measure them myself, but i broke both of my wrists and aside from a single finger to type with i can't do anything with my hands.
Thanks

I went to the way back machine and looked at Histowheels.

CD16s were used on some X’s, many 124s and late 131s known as Brava or Super Brava.
