    Quite frankly, I didn't even look that close. :(
    It was the only site I could find that had any detail shots at all.

    I've now looked through a bunch of Ferrari books I have, and can't find any good detail shots there either.

    Thanks,
    Stu

    Original wheels were CABO pressed steel with aluminium rims attached by Rudge Whitworth hubs. Wire wheels were always Borranis.

    Nope once again Nathan you are wrong.

    "Now Dr. Stu. The close up of the KO. What's wrong? How do you know it's not original?"

    If Borrani is to be believed they didn't stamp their logo into the KO's until 48 and 002C's 1947 159 engineering drawings, which BTW the way Borrani still has confirm that. When 002C was converted to a 166 in 48 the wheels were widened slightly and the KO logo changed as well.

    Point 1 - "Original wheels were CABO pressed steel with aluminium rims attached by Rudge Whitworth hubs." Proven by photographic evidence. There are well known photos of Enzo sat in the original rolling chassis with CABO wheels on it.
    Point 2 - "Wire wheels were always Borranis." - The Ferrari authorised publication "Ferrari 125" p57 says "In races Borrani wire wheels were always used (the same company which manufactured CABO)" They might not have had the Borrani stamp on the knock-off at that time, but were still Borrani.
    So yet again, I'm NOT wrong.
    Nathan

    Nathan you remain wrong.

    Here's exactly what you posted including Art's quote:

    Nathan

    ART WAS RESPONDING TO MY POST ABOUT THE KO's NOT THE WHEELS.

    THE POINT IS THAT THE KO'S ON THE REPLICA 125s, ARE WRONG AND THE KO'S NOT THE WHEELS IS ALL I ASKED ABOUT IN MY QUESTION TO DR. STU:

    Now Dr. Stu. The close up of the KO. What's wrong? How do you know it's not original?

    Best

    THE KO's on the 125s and the 159s AS I POSTED, ART CORRECTLY GUESSED, AND AS BORRANI CONFIRMED WERE MADE BY RUDGE, STAMPED RUDGE AND NOT MADE BY BORRANI OR STAMPED BORRANI.

    "They might not have had the Borrani stamp on the knock-off at that time, but were still Borrani.
    So yet again, I'm NOT wrong."

    Borrani says they did not make the KO's until 48. That before then they used Rudge KO's manufactured by Rudge and stamped Rudge. Still think the KO's were:

    "still Borrani." ?

    as I said earlier, the only reson for the link I posted was to provide some detail shots. I am hardly an expert on what Borrani or Rudge or whatever wheels and KOs should be on the car.

    As an aside I was in Turin yesterday and I stayed at a hotel that is in what used to be FIAT plant. There was a parobolic test track on the roof that is still there. Pretty cool.

    Interesting series of photos, and they show that the cycle fendered bodies on 001 and 002 were NOT the same. Also interesting is the photo at Parma which shows the Tipo 125 having no grille. I believe the car in the last photo which can only be partially seen is a Pagnini Lancia
