    Hi gang,
    Who's got any idea where I can find 18" wheels for a '86 Testarossa with central bolted wheels?
    I would like to update the old school look of the TRX fitted wheels,they are,in my eyes,way to small for the TR...
    Help wanted here!
    Thanks,
    Speedman

    I just put a set on my TR from www.garedcars.com. 18" They look great. They maintain a factory look as far as the plate design goes. The larger diameter really "updates" the car. The wheel design strongly resembles the factory F-40 wheel. They are a true 3 piece wheel. I was very impressed with how the car handled after this upgrade! I will post a photo after I resize it and tire sizes so you may see how they look.

    Good luck with this project. It is a time consuming one for us with the single lug cars. I have really enjoyed the single lug though.

    OK it looks like it took my photo. You can see a factory rear and the updated 18" rear wheel.

    Hello,

    I bought the same wheels from S. L. Competition for my '88 Testarossa and they really look nice on the car. What I like the most is that they look very close to the 288 GTO and F40 wheels. The only downside was the lead time of 8 weeks

    I also took advantage of the extra room and got the Brembo Gran Turismo front and back brake upgrade. What a difference in stopping!
