Default Reproduction Bravos for Jalpa

Has anyone ordered the reproduction Bravos from Eurospares. I spoke to Claudio and he says he's sold 25 sets and he has them in stock. I thought the tires for thoses rims were no longer made? Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Frank the tires for these are still available from Yokohama and Pirelli but they are made in small batches, I guess Lamborghini take the ones from Pirelli they where I sourced mine, but Yokohama UK has stocks, not sure about USA, I think this is a good thing the more demand created for these tires hopefully they wont reach the NLA list.
Those crazy DeTomaso owners put the 285/40/15's on the front of their Pantera theres also some requirement from Stratos and I believe BMW M1 owners so it would be good to boost requirements

Thanks

I couldn't either... closest thing I could find was a link to the Bravo wheels for a Countach, and it has a small line saying "also available for the Silhouette":

Mike,

I got an email directly from Claudio saying they are in stock and ready to ship. The cost was about $2900 us plus VAT and shipping.

Porsche guys use the 285/40/15 tire also. It's a major pain to get. I haven't found a compable other size that's close to the tire yet.

Michael,

I haven't spoke to anyone yet who has ordered a set of these. Claudio at Eurospares can probally answer that question for you if you email him. I find it odd that no one on this board is one of the 25 sets he has sold. The strength of the dollar against the British pound makes the rims more expensive than they should be. Let me know what you find out.

Thanks

Frank

thanks Frank, i too have been wondering why on here, LPOWER and the Vintage Yahoo forum, nobody has come forward and said anything about these wheels. i can get the 5 hole Compomotives for "around" $2200.00 in 17 inch.

i think a found a car, or rather a car found me. purchase pending a PPI.
