Alfa Romeo Giulietta Wheels
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Wheels
- Standard Alfa Romeo Giulietta wheels were 4.5” pressed steel wheels.
- In this period, Borrani offered a 4.5” aluminium-rimmed steel center Turbo Sport RB1-257 wheel.
- The Turbo Sport RB1-257 utilised the Giulietta’s standard bolt-on system and original hub caps.
- Borrani also offer the Bimetal Giulietta wheels, the Borrani Turbo Sprint RB1-546, which uses the Rudge Whitworth style centre lock system.
- The Turbo Sport and Turbo Sprint wheels are also available on special order with 5” and 5.5” rims for racing and wider tires.
- Though none standard, Borrani also make wire classic Alfa Giulietta wheels 4.5”X15” spoked wheels RW 3344 & 5”X15” Spoked wheels RW 3942.
- Of course, these classic Giulietta wheels are aluminium rims with mild steel spokes and wheel centres.
- The Spoked Borrani Giulietta wheels can come with either a painted or polished rim with chrome spokes and wheel centre.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta Tires
- The original Alfa Romeo Giulietta tires were 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67. They are still the best Giulietta tires today.
- The 155 TR 15 Michelin X was another radial Giulietta tire that could be fitted in the day.
- A later 1965 tire, the 155 HR 15 Michelin XAS is another good Giulietta tire option.
- A wider low-profile tire option would be the 175/70 VR 15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CN36.
- However, the Giulietta will handle at its best with the PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67.
- The estate car had bigger tires. 165HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO ™ CA67 was the original Giulietta Gardinetta and Giulietta Promiscua tire, and is still the recommendation.
- If you need Alfa Giulietta racing tires, you will want Dunlop Racing tires or Avon CR6ZZ tires.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Inner Tubes
- We would suggest the best inner tubes for 155R15 Alfa Romeo Giulietta tires would be the Michelin 15E13.
- The 15E13 inner tube is also ideal for 165R15, 175/70R15, and Dunlop Racing Giulietta tires.
- There is also a Racing inner tube option with bolt in metal valve stem.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta on 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67
The standard and best tire for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta is the 155HR15 PIRELLI CINTURATO CA67 that was introduced in 1952. Michelin do also make an excellent option in the 155HR15 XAS, but the Cinturato was original equipment and Pirelli's build quality is excellent, the progressive handling and period looks of the Cinturato set the car off beautifully.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Wire Wheels
Borrani have always had a close association with Alfa Romeo and offer a selection of wire wheels for the Giulietta. Although the Giulietta did not come as standard with wire wheels Borrani offer a transform kit to give you the option of fitting either the 4.5"x15", RW3344 or 5.0"x15", RW3942 wire wheels.
Borrani developed its Turbo Sport wheels for fitting to the Giulietta, these wheels soon became called Bimetal wheels, as they have a pressed steel centre piece and light alloy rim. The Bimetal Giulietta wheels have recently been re-manufactured by Borrani with an option of 2 styles for the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. The Turbo Sport wheels use the standard bolt on system of mounting a wheel. Whereas the Turbo Sprint uses a Transform Kit so you can fit the centre lock wheels with a knock on spinner.
- Note the transform kit used for wire wheels is different to the centre lock kit for Bimetal Turbo Sprint wheels.
