    Look at this GTO that is for sale right now. It actually has both types of production wheels on it. I wonder how/why this happened.... Scroll through the pictures until you see the side view. The front has the thicker wheels and the thinner ones are on the back.

    Well spotted :) congratulations. It looks to me there are 3 thin and 1 thick, looks very ugly in my opinion.

    Well spotted indeed. I suspect one or more wheels were replaced, likely due to road hazard.

    We might have an issue here with Classiche accuracy. There is a set of the thick spoke type for sale by sponsor Exoticar Auto and they say manufacturer is indeed Apptech of Italy.

    Just ran across this thread for the 1st time.
    I own 177032 And my wheels are the thinner "Y" spokes.
    Which I personally prefer. View attachment 2471429
