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

[Ric Rainbolt (ricrain]

I checked with them, and they're at $4000 + shipping, if I recall 
correctly. That puts the cost with shipping and tires at around 
$5,500... more than I wanted to spend, if I can help it.

Maybe I'm spoiled by my 360, but 360 OEM wheels are running $1500 
with tires on Ebay...
