I had a 1978 Spider that I'd gotten from a friend somewhere around 1996 and shaped it up. Along the way, I found a 1979 that was sitting abandoned in my company's parking lot—I found the owner, asked what he was going to do with it, and he gave it to me. A couple of months later, I was riding

I'd not thought about it before, but you're right: All the Ferrari wheels I have seen were variants on a five-spoke model. The '82 Alfa Romeo Spider wheels are virtually identical in design to the OEM Campagnolo-made wheels of the Ferrari 308GTB and GTS, made about the same time period. The
