    True
    I used to use a piece of hard wood and the lead hammer with my GTC
    I think there is a more advanced tool available
    Anyone know anything about that

    The Borranis are new. They were installed about 6 years ago.

    I have no idea. They look brand new.

    My buddy threw them in with a large chunk of memorabilia I bought from him in the fall. you’re welcome to try them if they are what’s needed?

    maybe someone can chime in if this is what you’re looking for.

    I have the "Oldtimers" and have to say it is better than other similar sockets I have used. It is well built and light. Best of all, it's made so it cannot slip off.

    It isnt just a 7.5" X 15" Borrani it is specifically the RW 4542 that you have there which is one of the wheels offered on this page.

    https://www.borrani.com/ferrari-wheels/365-gtb-4-daytona.html

    actually just looking at this web page we havent done a good job of this page. It is going to need some work.

    While I made my own design sockets for both, the three-eared & octagon nuts, long ago and I’m happy with them, I will look into acquiring one of theses if a need arise.

    Will the Oldtimers tool fit my 1972 knockoffs
    Does it mar the knockoff
    I always used a piece of hard wood and a lead hammer with my GTC

    While I believe it does, I would contact the manufacturer to confirm.

    This tool is probably the best tool you can buy to use with your knock offs. It will not mark your spinners.
    A lead hammer will for sure! Even using a piece of hardwood would not protect your rim when you miss the hardwood.
    Before I bought this tool I used a mallet like this. But I still damaged a Cromodora when I slipped off the nut.
