I don't have a good high-res photo of the Spider's rims, which is too bad as they're kind of interesting. Here's a cellphone shot:
What's interesting: I've only seen photos of these wheels, I've never seen them on another car in person. They're made by Stil-Auto, and either they're style "MI" or they're made in Milano, I haven't done the research to determine which. I DO know that the one in the picture is dated May 1974, while the others are dated 1971, so they're "period correct" for my 1974 Spider. I acquired these rims on the 1967 GT Junior I used to own. They apparently have some corrosion in the bead area, as the LF and RR tires lose a couple of pounds of air a week. GRM recently posted a technique for taking care of this by using 3M Scotchbrite and a degreasing cleaner to scour the bead area and remove the corrosion.
The Berlina currently has Turbinas, and I've got no shots of them, either. Phooey. :-)
Kim's Milano has what I think of as the standard Milano alloys, with the raised centre disc and cooling holes around the periphery. I will have to take some photos of this car to show just how awful some of the paint is before we tackle it...
