The factory F40 wheels are not quite what are on the Bi-Turbo. Very similar, but not them. The ones on the F40 have a central hub with a pin. The ones on the Bi-Turbo unscrew to reveal 5 bolts under it.

Best regards,
Dino

Horrible is an understatement. I had a chance to drive an automatic Bi-Turbo Spyder when it was new, what a piece of crap. Their automatic transmissions were among the clunkiest transmissions I ever experienced. Hopefully the 5 speed was a lot better. But most places can't give these away. The local Ferrari Maser dealer had a Bi-Turbo spyder on their lot for nearly a year. I think all they wanted was $7,500 and the car had 11,000 miles.

Best regards,
Dino
