Default Wheels

Today 01:08 AM by Turbov6cheyenne
hey guys and gals, name is Brian, new to your site. I have a question about a set of wheels I acquired. They came off of one of my customers corvettes, this one was a 1978, we installed billet specialties wheels on it for him and got a set of metric 17" Michelin wheels from him. They came off of this car, had Michelin TRX metric tires on them, I have done lots of searching on the interweb and have had no luck. They look like a wheel for a Ferrari 308, please help. I'm confused. Lol

you'll need to post photos of them to get any help. Also post any numbers you can find stamped into the wheel: that too will aid folks here in helping ID your wheels.

The TRX tires were very early low profile tires and came in metric wheel diameters(315,340,365,390,415mm) so they wouldn't get mixed with standard wheel diameter tires. The tires themselves aren't really worth much as I believe michelin still makes them. Some did come on Ferraris and if the wheels you have are indeed Ferrari wheels I can image there's some value there to the right person. Post a pic and the tire size!
