Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Desperately Need Wheels for Spline Drive 1985 TR

[Gary Reed (gary]

Hi Ric,

Try Compomotive Wheels. The last time I checked, a set of "TS" - 17" center
hub wheels to fit my 512BBi were around $2,000 for a set of four. It's a
3-piece wheel that is very similiar in style to a "288 GTO" wheel. They also
make them in 16" or 18" sizes too.

They will machine the wheels in England to fit your TR center lock hubs and
then ship them to their USA distributor.
