Ebay? start a this thread on Pistonheads as well Marc, you may get some replies there, if not then a dealer is the only place i can think of.

Attaboy Marc, you are hitting the ground running!

 

[Marc777]

Thanks. Looked on ebay but nothing. Do they have a specific name?

Those particular ones do not have a name...
in intalian they are called '7 razze' (but that just means 7 spokes)...
they come in 3 colours, aluminium, ball-polished and dark chrome.

Marc as on other thread .... They are like rocking horse poo .... Don't think I've seen them come up often if at all ..... Keep an eye on ebay and the Piston Heads parts classifieds. The other option is Maserati but think they are about 3k a set....

Hi Marc,

Widen your search out to international on ebay or going direct by changing suffix to .it .de or http://www.eim.ebay.gr/ but that may be a little confusing to navigate on!

Parisien posted a link to this chap in Germany...might be worth contacting...

Pete expected all of those to be more money ..... WOuld have thought the new QP's would fit ... The first ones.

Goes without saying to double check before buying...but am pretty sure a main dealer told me the later QP wheels do not fit the earlier ones due to different offsets.

Problem solved in a surprising way - I am actually buying the 20" shadow chrome with tyres brand new from a Maserati dealer .................... so excited

 

[ENZ525]

Nice one Marc...be sure to post a few pics if you can

 

[Andyk]

They will look the business .... Look forward to the pics...

Congrats.

I've been sniffing around for a spare set of GS rims and the lad in parts at GrayPaul Notts (Jamie Fowler) was helpful. NB I havent bought any yet if anyone comes across some at sensible money.

 

[Woody]

Just looking through the parts on PH - these look like great value. The GS equivalent and they'd be in my garage tomorrow! http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1906325.htm

I know you've already bought some, but this is the kind of thing I was tlaking about when I said to check eBay US.

[Marc777]

Thanks Woody. The trouble with US imports is that aside from the shipping costs, you have to add 10% duty and then 20% VAT. It makes a difference...

In the end the new Maserati wheels were more reasonable than i expected even when the dealer supplied the tyres!

Wheels getting fitted Saturday morning at Dick Lovett Swindon !

Very excited. Will post a pic for those interested...
