    Just got my knockoffs on e bay, now I find out from Matt at Re originals that they make deeper ones for the 9's in the rear of the boxer...does anyone else have 2 different depth knockoffs for front and rear, or can I use these? What came from the factory? thanks

    I puchased mine direct from the manufacturer in Italy for around $125 each I recall. There are different KOs for the front and rear on the 512s, the rears are`called deep as the wings are angled out further for the 9" wheel, the pic you posted is the regular KO for the front wheels but of course was used on all 4 365BB wheels as they used 7.5" rims all around

    Yes the KOs I got from Borrani are etched but they are OE also on new BBs, I think Ferrari used both the raised and etched on BBs, I have seen many 60s Ferraris with etched also, the raised 3D were used less it seems, most parts suppliers I talked to when purchasing the KOs didn't have any in stock, the ones that did wanted $500 each KO vs $125 factory direct for the same etched KO.

    I looked at the KOs on Reoriginals site and they are etched or engraved as well, they are the same KOs I purchased from Borrani
