    I always wondered, superficially they look just like mine except the "Dino' and "Fiat".

    Are they identical?

    These rims are correct for 246 until the changes to late E-Series, only the cars from approx. VIN 04800 had the Dino rims.
    GermanDino will tell us more details for sure.

    correct, but even with late E-serie Dinos you can find Fiat rims...
    My GTS #06830 has 4 Dino rims on the car and the spare wheel is Fiat.
    (very likely the GTS came that way from the factory)
    :))

    I've seen that too on different late E-Series cars such as #05334 and #06482, but not on #05780 which has five Dino wheels. That's Italy ;-)

    Just out of idle curiosity, does anyone know it there are any NOS Dino wheels or are they all out in circulation?

    And be carefull, there are two different "fiat" rims.
    They are identically looking from outside, but one you can drive with a tubeless tyre.
    The older rim is from Fiat Dinos before 1970 and the rims is missing the "hump"
    to keep the tyre on the rim.
