    Somewhat like the earlier thread. After skidding through a wet intersection today on my really pretty old TRX tires I have decided rubber needs upgrading. Rather than spend $211 each for Michelin TRX 220's for the front, and $468 (!) each for Coker 240's for the back, I have decided to ditch the TRX's in favor of "inched" rims which will accept contemporary tires.

    Question is, I kind of like the way the old ones look and have no real desire to mount up 360 wheels on my old Mondial.

    But, what is a good source for 16/7 and 16/8 rims which look OEM, but aren't? If anyone who has made the swap would share their source I'd appreciate it.

    tires should be the same size front to rear.

    How about a set of stock 16x7 and 16x8 from a 3.2 Mondial? Perhaps FerrariUK could give you some information about availability/price?

    Not neccesarily. As 911tr relates, the 7" anf 8" late Mondial 3.2 and t 16" wheels bolt up nicely with about the same offsets. Here's an example of those wheels on a QV.
    Good luck!
    best regards!

    I think having a wider rear is a great idea. I was referring to the OEM spec on a trx mondial.
