I have searched for info. on them, but didn't find too much.
The Tecnicos are supposed to be forged and lighter than the 5 hole, correct?
Any other differences besides esthetic preferences?
Thanks for the info. nolift
The Tecnicos seem to be popular with the Carabinieri at least......
Maybe because they come standard on the QV.....
Forged is stronger than cast besides being lighter. I also believe the tecnicos would be :x more expensive to replace.the technico rims are indeed lighter than the 5 hole....
unsprung weight at the track is nice...on the street...well...I will say this...I have to have my right front fixed for a slight bend...**** roads!!!
I personally prefer the look of the dark 5 hole especially with the RC paint.....looking to see if BBS will be making something OR HRE...but that is down the road...
Does anyone know how heavy the 5 holes are? Also is 21 1/2 lb a "good" weight for a 19"?the technico rims are indeed lighter than the 5 hole....

Extrapolating from a set of wheels with tires mounted, I believe the 5-hole wheels are about 24 lbs front and 25 lbs rear.Does anyone know how heavy the 5 holes are? Also is 21 1/2 lb a "good" weight for a 19"?
Interesting, since Alfa recommends the 5 hole with the carbon brakes...... unless it is for better heat dissipation......Extrapolating from a set of wheels with tires mounted, I believe the 5-hole wheels are about 24 lbs front and 25 lbs rear.
I have weighed the Tecnicos at 19 1/2 lbs front and 20 1/2 lbs rear.
The other difference I've noticed is that there is more caliper clearance with the Tecnico wheels that the 5-hole wheels.
Nobody has been able to figure that one out yet. The mandate to get the 5-hole wheels with the carbon ceramic brakes seems to be US only, as other markets can order that exact combination. I put the Tecnicos on our car with the CCB brakes with zero issues.Interesting, since Alfa recommends the 5 hole with the carbon brakes......
5k for Technicos???:surprise::surprise:I'm hoping there is someway to order it with the ccb + dark tecnico, so far all I get is no. One dealer suggested for me to just buy the wheels from parts, but they are $5k for the set
I know that I can get HRE cheaper, I'm not trying to pay for the tecnico. Just trying to find a way to order it the way I want or find a dealership that would be willing to order the wheels and Quadrifoglio separately but swap them out for me at no extra charge.5k for Technicos???:surprise::surprise:
For 5k there will be other rims that are forged & light that you can buy or have custom made...visit ProFormance in NY...very well regarded wheel guy among performance car owners....
My dealer quoted me $4k - and that is a pretty good price for a set of forged wheels. I have paid much more than that for Fikse's on my 911.5k for Technicos???:surprise::surprise:

Fikse are a different animal...really good rim....does anyone know if the 5 hole rims are free-flow design? people harp that free-flow gives you the weight saving and strength of forged without the cost because of how the wheel barrel is madeMy dealer quoted me $4k - and that is a pretty good price for a set of forged wheels. I have paid much more than that for Fikse's on my 911.
Dealer list price is $5,500 per set, and they often have a hard time getting them.5k for Technicos???:surprise::surprise:
