    Fed up with the high price of Michelin TRX tires for your 400 or 412 ?

    These wheels are genuine Ferrari Speedline 512 TR front rims in size 8"J x 18", fitted with Continental Sport Contact MC05 tires in size 245/45/ 18" - (tires are 2013 manufacture, are as new and have travelled less than 100 kilometers ) and 20 new (longer) wheel bolts for correct thread engagement. Ferrari# for wheels is 149550,

    Note: the 245/45/18 tyre gives the same rolling radius and tread width as the OEM 16" 412 combination.

    $ 3700 Aussie dollars, located Canberra, ACT.

    Those 512 TR wheels also fit regular TRs, with spacers, allowing a wider choice of tires. I should write that spacer size down, since I tend to forget it, like now. There are considerably more TRs than 60 degree, long chain, V12 Ferraris out there.

    Except, I note, you have two front sets.

    Yep, 2 sets of front wheels , the 412 / 400 needs the same width wheels front & rear.

    I'd split the set if there was interest from the TR crowd, although I think this will appeal more to someone who wants modern wheels for their 412/400.
    The package also includes new wheel bolts, as the TR rims are thicker in the hub and the standard bolts don't have sufficient thread engagement to be safe.

    The car rides and corners a lot better on the 18"s, with signifantly less road noise than TRX's, so its a worthwhile upgrade.

    The reason for selling these wheels is that I want the original look, but at the same time avoiding TRX's for ever, so I recently bought one one the last remaining sets of new 412 OEM 7.5J x 16 wheels left on the planet (for a laugh, check out #125620 at Ricambi)

    Michael- It looks much better, too. That 365 GT4 2+2 series looks much larger in photos than it is, and those wheels make her look smaller and more modern.
