hum... i thought that in 1970 all abarths were 1000 and 850 was only on the earlier days.

so which abarths based on the fiat 600 existed maded in 1970 and how they looked?

Looking at the books and articles I have, I do not see any difference in the alloy wheels used on the narrow-bodied cars from about 1964 to 1970.  Obviously the wide-fendered Corsas had different ones, at least in the rear.
My recollection is that at least Al Cosentino in the US was always saying Campagnolo were the best, so I assume that's what type they are.
But I don't think many people care about having the exact right type, especially since some of the wheels used on Abarths were known to crack and fail. I don't know which ones.

Abarth made 850TC and 1000TC cars in Stradale and Corsa models, the corsas in Gp 2 and Gp 5 apparently.

hallo,best is to buy the book ABARTH 850 TC e 1000   from giorgio Nada editore and Aligi Deganello /Elvio Deganello  here you find most details and info and all homologations .The standaard wheels where like on first photo.The homologated wheel from 1967 was the 8 holes in 3,5;4,5 and 5,5 x13 in gr 2     after 1970 there was also 6,7and 8 x13  have also a look here  newbielink:http://www.abarth-gmr.be/forum/index.php/topic,1387.0.html [nonactive]
