Hi Brian and all, For the US and Canadian markets, '81-'84 GTV6 were "normally" delivered with either the Silver or Black and Silver-painted Campagnolo 15"x6" alloy rims. In '84, the Maratona Models were fitted with the 'then new' Speedline Metric wheels and Michelin TRX tires (as were some Mustangs, Merkurs and a few other performance cars), but the standard cars kept the Campy wheels. For '85, ALL US-Market GTV6s were fitted with the Speedline Metrics, but for 1986 Alfa switched back to a 15"x6" wheel, this time these were the 'Wineglass' wheels, continued on the Milano Platinums and early Verdes.
Although I'm no Hertzmann, I got this info from multiple sources, including the Digest archives, the AlfaBB and AlfaGTV6.com.
