Those wheels are a good look. I'm glad that you didn't chrome them (not that there's anything wrong with that).

 

Aside from the decrease in structural integrity and increase in unsprung weight.

 

There's always the other extreme, too.

Cadillac's new STS comes with carbon fiber wheels to save 30% off their unsprung weight...a trick that should have been done first on Fcars and should certainly be in racing.

Looks Great ........ Congrats! (Painting the black sill under the doors in red would finish it off nicely !! A la 512TR)

 

if i get a TR ... i want it to look just like that !!!! love the wheels on the car, well done !

 

I like the look! Beautiful car

 

As kain4ever says...this look is getting popular. My next TR is going to have those wheels too. It's a very sensible upgrade and keeps everything Ferrari.

Auroraptor: Are you saying that the original TR wheels/tires are stronger and weigh less than the 360 wheels/tires? The 360 wheels may be a bit weaker but they must be sufficient for the job....I've seen 360s on the track using stock wheels without problems. Can you elaborate on this further?

 

I think he was commenting on the chrome plating mentioned above. Chrome adds weight and the process can induce imbrittlement. Powdercoating adds less weight and has no structural downside. That and it looks better. Chrome is for the "bling" crowd. Testarossas have enough bling already...

Oliver,

If you had the OEM 16" rims with the OEM wheel bolts you are running on very dangerous ground & waiting for a disaster to happen. The TR bolts are 45mm under the head - the 360 rims use 52 mm under the head - 7mm short of what you need. I would suspect that you only have 2-3 turns on a bolt before they are tight?

Please, please, please do a check on yours - you should have approx 7 turns on the bolt and I somehow doubt it if you have the old TR bolts.

Cheers

Paul

 

Told you guys Paul is the one to talk to about swapping. He knows his stuff.

 

I was worried about this also. They may bolt on, but you may not be using long enough bolts.

 

Looks really nice!

 

Oliver,

How many turns are you getting on the bolts?

From what point are you measuring under the head?

360 bolts and TR bolts are not the same spec.

#110580 - TR Wheel bolt - 45mm
#181291 - 360 Wheel bolt - 52mm
