I received this message from a good friend who works on Italian cars, who bought these wheels by mistake, thinking that they would fit a Fiat. The message is self-explanatory and may provide a bargain for owners of some of the more exotic cars! NFI, just a friend; I have not researched bolt patterns on the cars mentioned.
