    damn, that rim is not very easy to find at all: I found one yesterday (after one year of searching) at 1900 euro...

    It's a NOS, but very expensive.

    1900 euro (2000+ USD) in one 208 turbo/308 QV rim looks to be too much: Is that price correct, in your opinion?

    Thank you very much

    ciao

    It's correct as soon as someone pays that much Alberto. Buy some 16" copies for driving and use 14" for originality.

    Thanks for the advice, but my car has the OEM TRX rims from Factory so originality is ok. I already have three of the 16" Cromodora set and that fu@ky rear 16x8" is the missing one.

    Alberto; searching for this rim is driving you crazy. You have finally found a perfect rim. JUST BUY IT!!! The tranquility you will feel afterward is worth the money. They are very rare.

    That certainly "sounds" expensive, it's true.

    But I think the value of the OEM set is at least $6K these days, so really...1/4 of that is near the ask.

    And also it's new.

    The quality of value endures long after the pain of expense at purchase fades away.
    Says a man with $10K in surfboards! LOL!

    I was going to say about the same as BigTex. For a NOS wheel it's probably correct compared to used set. And you know it has the CORRECT color.

    Agree.
    Also, once you click the "pay now" The Financial anguish seems to be forgotten, all that's left is the glory of the new purchase! :)

    Yes, you are talking about world prices. But here once it was the Ferrari first market and we had a Ferrari density incredible for the rest of the world, so here prices have to be lower. Maybe 2 k is a correct price in the USA, but not here. Here Harley Davidson spare parts are much more expensive than in the USA. The opposite happens to Ferrari spare parts.

    See??

    All of my wheels are terribly corroded where the black paint has worn off over the years!

    Stack up ALL four, and go for a drive!!
    Congrats, Albert.

    All the rims are never repainted, I don't know which color they are. Usually is FER 101, silver.

    Alberto I'll put some pressure on you. You can't use this wheel, it's a collector piece and you will ruin it's value if you install a tire and put it on a car.

    Yes, you are right: I already evaluated this idea, and the others three rims of this set are not much worse, with even the original P7 tires. At the moment I will keep all them at home, as I already have another Cromodora 16" set (the one in the picture here below) and a 16" Superformance copy set. I will decide what to do in the future

    You do realise that there are Ferraris everywhere chocked up on bricks, because you have all the wheels?

    ciao

    Or, if they have a ton of money to throw away, I can sell them a 16" Cromodora set... :D

    you could ask him if they were Factory bricks or just crappy Superformance repro bricks...

    ciao
