    This may have been asked, but Superformance can no longer get the aftermarket inch wheels which look like the original ones. Is there another source?

    If I'm not mistaken, as far as I'm aware, the 16 inch SF wheels are not the correct design for the 3.2. They are modeled after the QV. So while they potentially would fit perfectly fine, they wouldn't look like OEM on a 3.2.
    You may have some luck inquiring with a few of the vendors who part out these cars, or check eBay.

    The OE 16 inch wheel is still available. That would leave you with just finding a pair of rears.

    Thanks. The drawing on the Eurospares website shows the rears as been convex as with the ABS equipped cars (which I understand will not fit). Maybe just a drawing error? My wife corrected me, it is an 87 Italian spec car, not an 86. The original 8 inch wide rear should have a part number 126949 as far as I can tell.

    Did any 3.2s come with matching front and rear 7 inch wide rims?

    While true to originality, refinishing the original metric wheels and buying a set of "new" TRXs does not have much appeal.

    Every data base I go to including the original 86 parts books show the same thing.
    Only one part number rear inch size rear wheel 126948 8x16 and one part number front inch size wheel 126971 7x16. All TRX and inch size look convex and there are no notations for ABS only applicable wheels.
