    Found these while going through the warehouse, and I haven't a clue what they are? Any opinions?

    I assume they are hubcaps of some sort.

    How large are they? Without some frame of reference, they look more like drink coasters!

    They do look like coasters but almost too big for that. The only other component I could think of is so ring centre cap related. Don't believe that the size allows for anything wheel related except for the centre cap.

    Not coasters, these are Dino hub caps. I've only seen them on 246s & 308 Dinos only.

    Right, center caps for mag wheels.....very valuable with the "Dino" logo on them...

    Any thoughts to what they are worth the way they sit? Would it be better to purchase and replace the centers with OEM Dino centers?

    It's possible the Ferrari 308GT4 saw them used with the Cavallino centers, I would not change them. The Dino logos are no longer available except as repros.

    A call to FerrParts or Trutlands would let you know what they are worth.

    You need to find a Dino or GT4 owner that is using that particular wheel style.

    Let me go find a picture of Robert Garven's car...

    EDIT: It looks like you found our 308 Section!
    Best of luck, good warehouse find!!
