Did any early 308 GTB's come out with gold colour rims?
Image Unavailable, Please Login These are 15 inch rims on this car but was hoping for my 14 inch rims to look similar...oh well
Some Ferrari magnesium racing wheels were coated with the Dow 7 Chromate, which was a fragile coating designed to protect the magnesium for the short duration of the life of a racing wheel. Not a very durable coating for a longer term street application. They do look great on a red car. Image Unavailable, Please Login
You could buy the gold coloured 16" repros from Superformance, and keep your original 14" for posterity.
I have 16's on the car which I prefer, but also have 14's in storage which need to be restored. So was hoping to restore them and spray them gold...oh well
I Have a 308 gts yellow 1982, looking at putting on grey 16" from SP?? Any thoughts. As replacing the rims and tryes as they a not original from SP.
While it is my opinion that the gold looks incredible on a GTB. I decided to try it with some HRE's purchased a while back from a fellow fchatter on my GTS. I had the wheels painted instead of powdercoated so I can always go back. I'd like to also get a set of the SP 16's but no room in the garage.

Gold does look good...make yourself happy! Great post about the Dow 7 color origin, never read that before!
