    The wheels are actually reversed on the other side.

    It runs on "petrol".

    For those who don't know what petrol is, it's the pretentious alternative for the word "gasoline" used by salesmen to explain why the car is so overpriced :)

    Why would anyone do that?

    No they aren't. Both front wheels are 360 rims.

    The price too....for the $60k asking price the wheels should at least match....and it should be just about perfect. I have seen a lot better car selling for a lot less in the 355 market.

    agreed... especially for a car that has miss matched wheels. Im shocked Jim Lyons even put it up for sale with those wheels... I am pretty lineant on cars... but a ferrari with miss matched wheels would demand closer inspection (although many 355s did suffer from "failed" wheels...) the car is deserving of a full set of the same wheels for crying out loud. IF only two were replaced because two failed... id be worried about the condition of the car mechanically as well... was it repaired "good enough" to get it down the road as well?

    good spot.

    could have been a repair job for the "banana syndrome" on the airbag cover.

    or maybe the airbag deployed....

    No one's really going to notice the mismatched wheels.

    True, petrol is what we call it here in the Uk and Europe as well as "Benzina".
    We look at the word gasoline as a US thing over here.

    I think he's looking for one with the rare "mismatched wheels" option. ;)
