    I have to admit that I still don't know this: I own dozens of TRX metric rims for 308, 165TR390. I was told yesterday that 1980 ones hadn't the raised letter with the writing "Ferrari 165 TR 390" in the channel. Until yesterday I supposed all of them had the raised letters writing. All the Cromodora ones (I, Turbo and QV) had them: What about the latest carbed cars produced in 1979-1980? Mine 1980 hadn't, but up today I supposed they were erased when the rims were stripped for repainting.

    Is that anyone here that owns a 1979-80 TRX Metric rim and can help me?

    Thank you very much

    update: 1980 TRX rims Ferrari spare part number was 116134 and they were produced by Speedline, not Cromodora, so maybe they really hadn't the rised letters!

    They were superseded by 117000, that are the Cromodora TRX rims with raised letters: but exactly WHEN? All QV and turbo have the raised letters ones.

    What about injected cars from 1980-81?

    Thank you

    Ciao

    I checked among my rims: raised letters from 1981. The 1980 I have is a Speedline and without the raised letters

    Thank you

    my former '82 GTSi had raised letters TRX
    my present '79 308 GTS had Speedline TRX, no raised lettering. I got rid of them.
    The car is wearing 16" rims now.

    I have three cars with TRX (a dozen) and then I got some spares. To be honest I have "only" 23 TRX rims.

    I appreciate a lot the TRX tires, that give the car a very good front grip, as the front ones are wider than any other front tires ever installed by Factory on a 308.

    TRX were superlative tires at the time
