    I think the classic style would lend itself well for wires. Kind of a mini 330GTS etc. Even better with some XWX's on the wires for a really be a cool look.

    The serious downside is they are not original. There were some Dino Fiat specials built that had Borrani's put on them, but that doesn't completely justify this. The original wheels are very specific looking for this car. I do prefer the Ferrari 5-spoke star wheels as far as cast mag wheels go, but with the knockoff hubs, It steers me back to Borrani wires.

    Any thoughts are welcome.

    I vote for the Borranis, with aluminum offset rims and s/s spokes. It is conceivable that thay could have been fitted during the car's period. I once saw a dark gray XKE (E-Type) coupe with Borranis, and it looked stunning. If I eber get an XKE, I woould fit them.

    But do the Fiat Dinos come with KO hubs? If not, and no adapters are available, that seems a difficult technical problem.

    the 2.0 Dino Spiders had knock offs, the 2.4's were bolted on.

    Ebay Item number: 320849047887 has the hub conversions, wire wheels and tires for nearly the price of just the tires. Seems inexpensive to me.

    So cool and so close! Too bad they won't fit. Different engagement system. The early Dino has the daytona Boxer etc spline setup. Cool cause it's very genuine Ferrari. The bad news is a bit rare and costly. The work it would take to re-hub those assuming it could be done would get out of hand quickly. I believe a brand new set of Borrani's would be about 4-5k. Thanks for posting this :)

    superformance sells the splines for the FIAT Dino. And I bet you could get wires made pretty easily to fit the 2.0's, the hub and splines are 365 and someone here said Daytona but I have never heard that, just 365. Expensive either way but a Dino is worth it.
