Default Wheels

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

Could you post a picture of the wheels? That would help. FWIW, the only TRX Michelins I'm aware of, used on a domestic car, were installed on certain Mustangs, back in the late 70s-early 80s timeframe. I'm sure that foreign cars might have used them also, but none that I'm personally familiar with.

Agreed on the need of pics and the use on domestic cars, but also they were used on ferrari.

I had TRX wheels on a 80's Thunder bird, very limited tire selection back then. I would be surprised if you could find some now.
