GT 16" Alloys by
Bertone
Is it worth getting the Alfa GT 17" supersport alloys. They certainly look
nice but it seems that the standard 16" alloy wheels produce a smoother

able to directly compare the two so I'd be really grateful for any
opinions on...

156 - Windscreen wiper problem by
Dave Savage
My 156 (1998, 55k miles on the clock) has developed an intermittent problem
with the wipers. In summary, the wipers refuse to work (sometimes !!) -
either they won't sweep at all, or only very sluggishly. Up to now, I've
managed to get them going by switching wipers on/off a few times.
