    They are a copy of GTO wheels. Many TR's got dealer installed GTO wheels and Ferrari got really mad at us for doing it and issued a bulletin to stop. GTO wheels have gotten very valuable and if those were the real deal it would be worth buying the car to get them.

    Brian you're right, I forgot those about those GTO wheels on a TR. Do the rim outside width look correct for GTO?

    The distance from the radius to the space between the spokes is wrong, the flange where the rim halves clamp to the center. Also the center looks wrong like the offset is different or something. Dimensionally a TR wheel and a GTO wheel is the same.

    Here's a photo of the actual GTO Speedline wheels so you can see the difference. I've restored a set which I have on my Testarossa in place of the stock wheels. It makes a huge difference of the overall look of the car especially on a silver colored car because of the silver color of the stock wheels compared to the look of the Speedline wheels.

    They are closer than I thought but I stand by my off set comment.


    You're right. On a silver car it makes a big difference.
