    I had occasion to notice a buddy's 328 has a grey spare wheel, while mine is silver. Our cars aren't too far apart in production, and as far as we know both are original.

    What color do you have, and when was your car made/what is the serial number?

    were spares optional on these models, like the Mondial T+ series?

    IF so, then I'd expect the color to be varried.

    A few years ago I bought a 328 spare from an fchatter because I wanted a slimmer spare to keep in my 308. It is gray. Unfortunately, I can't shed any light on this investigation because I don't know anything about the 328 it came from. I can tell you that to make it fit a 308, you need a small spacer, which I carry with the spare and had made by Hill Engineering. But now I have so much space up front, I can stash my tools, jack and everything up front with the spare. Better weight balance! ;)

    Any 411 on touch up paint for the dark grey? I got dinged for some small chips at a concours (talk about nit picky).

    Mine is actually a darker color than the regular wheels. Can this be a normal situation? Seems rather strange to have a spare wheel that is a different color than the regular wheels. But if you look at the Ferrari wiring diagrams, I can understand how colors can get confused.

    Does anyone know the p/n or where one can get the orange triangular sticker that is on the spare tire?

    I don't, but I got my coolant tank sticker from the gentlemen at Ricambi. Maybe David or Daniel could assist.
