The Alfa Romeo 105 Series Spiders (1970-1993) were available with two styles of OEM alloy wheels. One style is typically referred to as the Turbina, while while the other is referred to as the Daytona.
The Turbina wheels have manny small radial fins, while the Daytona wheels have five heavy radial spokes. The Daytonas are wider and heavier than the Turbinas. The Turbina wheels were a popular option on European cars, while Daytonas were popular in the American market.
Originally, the wheels were supplied to the factory by two Italian companies: Campagnolo and Cromodara. Wheels from the two manufacturers differed slightly in appearance and manufacturing techniques.
The Cromodora Turbinas are almost visually identical to the Campagnolo version - indeed some cars are reported to be running a mixed set of rims with the owners none the wiser - but a close inspection should reveal that the Campagnolo wheels have square-edged radial fins, while those of the Cromodoras are a bit more rounded.
Cromodora also produced a later version of a Turbina style of wheel, which was fitted to Alfa Romeo 116 Series Alfettas. These have a different stud PCD as well as different offset and so can’t be used on 105 Series Alfas. The later Alfetta wheels are easily recognised as they have openings between all the radial ribs on the face of the wheels, while the Turbinas for 105 Series cars have an opening every second rib.
While there are only small visual differences between 105 Series Campagnolo and Cromadora Turbinas, the technical differences are somewhat more significant. The Campagnolo Turbinas, originating from a small-volume manufacturer, are aluminium sand castings, weighing around 5.785kg each. A careful sand castings can be very good, but as a generalisation, they tend to exhibit a bit more variability between castings and the surface can be a bit rough - consequently they are potentially more time consuming to finish and balance.
The Cromodoras Turbinas, from a much larger manufacturer, are typically injection moulded die-castings with high magnesium content. The Cromodoras are slightly lighter (5.725kg) and more finely finished, which means they are also easier to balance and keep clean on the car.
By comparison, the standard steel rim fitted to 105 Series cars weighs in at ???kg.
The Cromodora Alfetta Turbinas, with less metal between the ribs, are lighter again than the 105 Series Turbinas, weighing in around 5.555kg each.
The Daytona style wheels, from both manufacturers, are 6” wide compared to the 5.5” of the Turbinas and are appreciably heavier.

The Techno Union is a large coalition of high technology firms in the fictional Star Wars universe.
Purpose
Formed primarily of heavy manufacturing concerns, the Techno Union lobbied the on behalf of its members' interests and attempted to ensure fair commerce between its members. In time, the Techno Union would grow to include galactic shipping magnates to further ensure the free flow of goods.
Corporate signatories, which included Baktoid Armor Workshop, Haor Chall Engineering, Republic Sienar Systems, Kuat Systems Engineering, TaggeCo, BlasTech Industries, and Corellian Engineering Corporation, were provided access to cutting edge technology and research and development facilities. The Union also included the manufacturing worlds of , , , , , Foerost, and . It should be noted that the level to which members backed the union varied.
Involvement with the Confederacy of Independent Systems
In the last decades of the Galactic Republic, Foreman Wat Tambor led the Techno Union to model itself after the Trade Federation, earning a seat in the Senate and the right to defend itself with a droid army. When the Separatist Crisis came to a head, the Techno Union was one of the first to pledge its support to the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
As the conflict grew into the Clone Wars, the Techno Union was one of the Confederacy's key suppliers of starships, battle droids and weapons. It is clear that this point the union was split, with some members choosing to support the Republic. In 20 BBY, the Republic attacked the base on Xagobah. During the course of the battle, Boba Fett tried to assassinate Wat Tambor, only to be stopped by Separatist warlord General Grievous. Eventually however, the Republic liberated Xagobah.
In 19 BBY, unhappy with the progress of the Confederacy droid army and in awe of the prowess of General Grievous, Wat Tambor commissioned research into developing alternative infantry. These included constructing cloning facilities in 's underground caverns for the production of the Confederacy's own clone army — Morgukai clones trained by assassins and the establishment of a secret laboratory on to experiment on the creation of mutants and cyborg control devices.
Nevertheless, this base was powered by a siphon generator that drained a captured geothermal crystal, keeping Rokrul region in a wintery state by draining all the thermal energy from the land. The base also transformed all the males of the nearby Rokrul village into savage mutants. However, the base was destroyed by Anakin Skywalker at the Battle of Nelvaan.
Following the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, the Techno Union was likely folded into the Empire's military-industrial complex along with the other manufacturing interests of the defeated Confederacy.
