just got new shoes for her. the 225/45-17 & 235/45-17 were to skinny. i moved up to a 245/40-17 p2 rear and dir up front. the 245/45-17 would be the correct size but another 1" of sidewall would be too much flex for my taste. so i now have a set of the pilot sport 225;235/45-17 up for sale. i'll measure the remaining tread later, but it looks to be about 90% there. i'll wash her down and take a pic of the new shoes...
Scott looking at the engine bay shot, the PO upgraded to the distributerless ignition since Stephane owned it. Looks great!!

Not if you plan to put the car back on the market. That is a hard sell with black rims. Those Speedlines were made for the Mondial, it would be a shame to mess with the look. Stephane Scaledetails
so they are speed line rims? i have no reciept for them and figured they were just some regular 'ol rims. one issue with them though is that they are only 7" wide rims and factory is 8". i would like to go with at least some 8" in the front and 9" in the rear.
Yes, I bought them from Ray @ GARedCars, around $3K with tires, definitely better than those ugly stock wheels, I always like to upgrade wheels on all my Ferraris whenever I can, wheels make the car in my opinion. I also had HRE make wheels for another Mondial I had (Style 340 I think, 3 piece), and they were much wider, but I don't remember what size exactly. Stephane Scaledetails
