    Good day JP,
    I e-mailed the fellow yesterday and I got the following info:

    1. He has two spares and stated that both are are 3 1/4" x 19". However, the pics he sent me clearly show that they are 20". The rims do not appear to have any curb rash, etc, but were somewhat dirty and have slight paint scrapes around the edges. The tire label looks to be stained as well. However, the chrome trim plate and the rubber tire looked good. Interestingly, a pic of a spare I saw from Eurospares had cracks in the actual rubber sidewall...

    2. Asking price is 1500 Euros each.

    What is also interesting, is that I saw these same pics from a fellow in England... or so that is what I was told and somewhat verified by seeing the spare advertised on Ebay UK a while back. I think Newman will chime in here, as we were looking at these same pics a few months ago... perhaps this fellow bought them from the UK fellow?

    Cheers,

    Sam

    Good day Ron,

    Newman has done some ground work on this and found that the BBi's use the 19" and BBs use the 20". Sadly, I do not recall which is used on the 365BBs... if I were to guess, I would imagine it would be the 20".

    Cheers,

    Sam

    The wheel Alwin has pictured here is for a 365 or a BBi not a 512BB. The 512BB is on its own for some reason. Mine is a 19", my friend needs a 19" and we have tried unsuccessfully to purchase anything from TomGT or gte250. Sam is correct (hi sam) regarding the rim sizes.

    1500 euros is too much but I was told 3000GBP by some guy in england with a few of them, we passsed as well and we will pass on this one here.

    $500USD is my offer as neither look in as new condition and thats all they are really worth. My friend needs a 19" one but not bad enough to be stupid about it. The most I would ever consider is $1000USD but it better be in the box from ferrari for that price.

    newman, we should keep our money and instead of a spare we will never use...let's put it toward the neez wheels set! money better spent don't you agree?

    I need a spare as well but would never pay over $500 for one, this one is priced way too high.

    Does anyone know if the early hub spline TR spare will fit or is it a different design? should be plenty of those around as well if so

    I agree about keeping the money but its for my friends car and he wants one if they are reasonable. I would be the same way too.

    As for the TR the offset is different and the wheel wont work because it wont have the clearance inside the inner wheel well. The hub spline might work though and I need a spline for my spare!

    Both wheel sizes are no longer available from ferrari.
    I have also noticed that the price of the BBi rear road wheels has doubled recently to £1024 sterling each, they have kept the price of the front BBi wheel the same.

    (By the way, 20" fits the BB. 19" fits the 365 and BBi. I have no earthly idea why)

    actually thats reasonable, ive seen them much higher for lesser quality - not that they got it. My buddy put one together with an NOS tire and rim from two different sources. I think he was closer to a G note in the end, maybe a tad more but no paper sticker on the tire, some labour, shipping here and there, blah blah blah and with the american dollar where it is :) its a better deal than in the past.
