1982 Ferrari 512BBi Chassis 39527

The wheels are a Group4 Ferrari reproduction wheel that are powder coated in Prismatic's Satin Poly Gold (PMB-6487). I went with Firestone Firehawk Indy's for the semi-period type appearance and great reviews (Don't hate on me for not putting PS2's on an 80's car, lol.). The size is 235/45R-17, and the tires have handled very well and comfortably for me.

The original rims, which were re-finished shortly before I bought the car, and new Michelin TRX's (less than 500 miles wear) were set aside in storage bags for future Concours use if desired. The original wheels would absolutely come with the sale.

I think its a best of both worlds set-up, and it gets thumbs-up on the road every time she's out!

 

The seats were certainly dry, initially. I have used multiple treatments of Leatherique to condition the seats, and they have a great patina now.

So many Boxers have had their leather replaced, and I feel the seats then look a bit puffy, new and out of place for the car. These seats do have some mild cracking due to age, but I really feel like it adds solid character that I wouldn't want to give up. Your personal taste may vary and replacement is certainly an option for the new owner!

 

good answers.
i certainly like original leather with patina, its just a fine line between patina and neglect. you are the best judge of that tho.

i certainly like the new wider and taller wheels - did the same on mine.
just wanted to make sure the originals go with it.
thx
