    Hi All, i'm looking for a 7/16 spare wheel for my 1983 euro 308 QV, can anyone help identify the style i'm after? Is it the cromodora? Looking at photos the cromodora style seems slightly different to the attachment i've uploaded, any advice on the type i need would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    By "7/16" I think you mean the size, typically expressed as 16x7...?

    For all the times you might use the spare go for the cheapest 14 or 390 wheel & tire on Ebay unless you really really really need a genuine 16x7 as these are pretty rare & valuable

    The wheel you have pictured is from a 328 not a 308. IIRC the correct wheel for euro QV in 83 was the metric 390 TRX and the spares were the space saver kind. I would much rather have the 328 Wheels

    MN, I think you are correct, thanks. The previous owner must have fitted 328 wheels rather than the original 308 types. Appreciated! So i guess the question is either i change all of them to the orginal 308 type or I just get one additional 328 spare wheel???

    If you ever run across someone with a spare campy style space saver, LMK. I have a 328 speedline in my euro 308, and would like to move into something correct..
