They came as standard equipment on Ferraris for many years, and other cars as well.

They are lovely wheels which even with a very thin rim provide excellent grip because there is a kindof groove that your thumb fits into and makes it easy to get a grip on.

I like them with tung oil finish instead of varnish. It looks good and is not slippery when your hand is sweaty.
