Metric wheels,I don't think GT4's came with metric wheels,I think the Mondial and 308 gts/bi had them and some of the earlier QV's..
Pain in the butt to get tyres for so I wouldn't buy them for free..

 

No idea how to upload links from FB type in ferrari wheels

Right,I learn something every day cheers for info Maurice

 

Metric wheels on 308; what years?

 

+308.

 

Early injected cars,81-82 and even some early Qv cars..before I bought my 328 I looked at a aussie delivered 81 308gtsi that had metric wheels..

 

Umm I'm only aware of the 400 series being metric for the Michy tyres.

I'm happy to be proven incorrect though.

 

Yep, you're wrong, The Don is right

I gave my metric wheels away when I had the QV

 

They were very common on US cars and Euro cars at the time as well..

Ferrari adopted TRX tyres across the range, including the BBi (and 400). Michelin thought they'd change the world from hated anglo-saxon inches to perfect French millimetres - see how well that worked out for them vs Pirelli

 

Well ya live n learn... I thought metric wheels only blighted Mondials, Testas etc.

 

BMW also went down this path for a period of time

 

Yep, metric wheels standard in Aust on all GTSi’s and QV’s.

Though 16” wheels a very, very popular option on QV’s when they were new.

Did later QV's come directly with 16"?

 

No, my car is the second last one to Aus and the 16’s were fitted here (before delivery) I believe.

I recon the tyres might be getting on a bit the tread looks very dated

New ones are still the same pattern from memory

 

Great for concour use only,take your life in your hands otherwise.

I've been on the spot when an out of date tyre s**t itself.

 

Yeh right

 

I'm running the later QV wheels on mine but have the original metric ones in the shed....They might make nice coffee tables one day...

 

For Sale: Ferrari OEM Headers 355 (5.2 model).

As removed from my car 18 months ago. Drivers (RH) side was leaking, other side should be fine.
Removed, wrapped up and boxed where they have remained ever since.
I’ve now tripped over the box one too many times and I’ll never likely do anything with them, so

make an offer!

 

Anyone after a F355 Mille Miglia exhaust.
Came as a spare with one of my cars. Apparently compares in sound to a Tubi.
$1500
When I take it out of the box I will take proper photos

 

Some photos of the exhaust

I usually stick to Antonio Capristo gear

Still a nice exhaust for a 355

Dealer in Smithfield is breaking a 430 a lot of parts interchangeable with 360 bits I thought this for one was very reasonably priced even if just for replacement parts for a capote [emoji594] Image Unavailable, Please Login
