    Can anyone tell me if these wheels will fit a 1982 Mondial 8? I have the original wheels on it now, and am sick of the metrics. Plus, this will fill up the wheel well better.

    The auction closes tomorrow evening (10-26), so please email me or post what you can to help. The price seems extremely low, since it includes tires, but things are only worth what people will be willing to pay, and if you can't get rid of them.....oh well.

    Thanks all.

    Yeah..I know...chrome. But I bought a beat up Mondial cheap. The wheels and tires have had it. If I can get these whels and new tires for the cost of tires alone, it would be worth it as a make-do for a couple of years while I attend to other mechanical issues.

    I think the chrome 348 wheels will look fine on your Mondial... not TOO much bling! Go for it.

    it should have worked fine...but i had all kinds of steering and handling control problems ( the front tires of a T are smaller than the rear) and I went back to stock..16" works fine...for this money and if you really wanted to do it, do it and go 18" with spacers and really be done withit it will add vaue to the car when you are all done...buyers of entry level ferraris like mondial 8's like the modern tall rims. (my two cents ..but I fine life is alot easier and less complex staying all stock...every time I tried an aftermarke "improvement" I wound up with problems elswhere with the car.

    I had no problems putting them on my 1982 Mondial. Just be SURE to get the lug bolts with the new wheels. You will need the longer ones.

    Ok.....I will make sure I get the lug bolts. Thanks

    I won . I REALLY hope they fit. If so, and they are as advertised, not bad for 4 new pirellis and four wheels. Now I can spend more money on the broken sunroof, bad window motors and crappy interior! Ughh What have I gotten myself into. Should I start the Dominos delivery job now for the costly repairs?
