wheel colour

I can't speak to the color formula, but I would note that the original color of the standard Cromodora wheels had a bluish tint to it. Personally, I prefer a cleaner silver, and when I had my 308 star mags repainted, I went with one of the Mercedes-Benz body colors. Fred

There is an official technical bulletin published by the factory on the 7th of October 1971 listing the official Italver code for the Dino wheels. The bulletin number is 182 and should be available from any Ferrari Authorized dealer. I have tried to decipher the Italver codes but my copy is very poor. It could be 2427073 but I am not really 100% certain.

Good luck,

Pascal,
Here's the info from the bulletin you refer to, courtesy of Tom Shaughnessy. I extracted it from the thread I mentioned above.
