    Hey. Looking for help in identifying this extra set of rims that came with my 83 QV. When I purchased the car the owner said he had swapped out the original rims for a different set. But didn’t say why or what the reason was. All I can find is the info on the inside. Various numbers and a date. I am planning to sale them and not sure what I have. Thanks.

    Almost certainly worthless as they are TRX fit only

    TRX means metric european...........which means it will cost the better part of $2000 for a new set of tires.....and then they are the old style tires with the historic tread on them. Great in 1983, not so great in 2022

    Google on "390MM" and it will take you there.
    The tires ARE still supported but as one post above notes, very costly.

    I think there is a set of these in our adds for $800 for four.

    Contrast that with the last New Old Stock 16" QV rim, that sold for about $1400.....each.

    The pervious owner of my 83 QV did the same he swapped out the old TRX rims and changed the with aftermarket rims which look identical to the trx rim but use non metric tires. He said he swapped them do to a softer ride. I have both sets the original TRX and the aftermarket rims.

    Wow. Incredible. Ridiculous.
    No wonder the PO put Enkeis on the car, but also conveyed the originals with old tires.

    Ed, your wheels are marked SL 059/A, indicating Speedline as a manufacturer and they would be sized 180TR390 with an offset of 53.5mm. They were on a Mondial.
    However... they look like repro wheels to me as the original Speedline wheels delivered to Ferrari under the part number 117272 had a much better and different internal finish with cast, raised markings, and either a cast external marking or a sticker as shown on the following images from the "internet":

    original raised markings and rounded spoke edges:

    Thanks for all the help and information. I am thinking maybe $400 for the set plus shipping. We shall see what happens.
