Anyway, I may have tracked down the original wheels and tires through the previous owner. Hopefully I can make a fair deal withe the owner since he no longer has a car to put them on. He also has the original steering wheel. I will keep you filled in on how it goes. Thanks for your support. dave handa (Davehanda) Intermediate Member Username: Davehanda Post Number: 2173 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 5:42 pm:    Charles, Welcome to Ferrari ownership...I paid $3k a few years ago for some used, refinished, original 308 QV wheels, then bought tires and had them mounted...big bucks for a "sh*tbox 308"! Those prices from Ferrari UK seem mighty reasonable for brand spanking new, fresh BBi wheels. Trust me, I feel your pain... :-) Charles Krop (Charliek) New member Username: Charliek Post Number: 18 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, October 28, 2003 - 3:13 pm:    Thanks Guys, Frank, thanks for the info. I am glad to know the wheels and tires are available. Unfortunately after buying the car I am not quite ready to spring for the $2500 for the wheels+tires. I will try to keep a look out for some decent used ones.

In fact, Michelin still makes them. Coker has the exclusive rights to sell them in the USA. The front and rear tires are both TRX 240/55 VR 415. You can buy new OEM wheels from www.owners.ferrari.com . The front wheels are 180 TR 415 and the rear wheels are 210 TR 415.

Even though they drive and look great I want to have a set of originals because I am OCD. I would also like to have an original steering wheel and radio if anyone know where they may be found. I called Coker and they are clueless as to the metric tires for this car. Maybe I was asking for the wrong #'s. I understood them to be 210TR15415 rear and 180TR415 front.Is this the case and can anyone give me another suggestion on where to find them.If these are not the correct #,s could someone fill me. Thanx
