After seeing them in an Autocar article I kept looking on eBay for quite a while trying to get a set to fit to the Coupe, thinking the same, that they look similar to the original 20vt wheels. 1996 Portofino 20vt & 2000 Pearl White Plus 2008 Ferrari F430 & 2017 Fiat 124 Spider

There is some logic to that in terms of alignment of forces but having had a spoke on a standard wheel break recently maybe not worth worrying about. Andy
