    That remains a fine car, in my opinion. Pininfarina designed, no?

    They look similar, but I don't think they are venoms. the y spokes on a venom were nearly at 90 degrees to each other

    Pininfarina yes. Checked out the venoms, they certainly look like them.
    Would they be still available anywhere? What other alloys might set it off?

    They look very similar to mille miglia emotions, but hard to tell from that pic/angle.

    And slightly off topic but Pininfarina design doesn't mean as much to me since they put their name on this. Not a bad car but not in my opinion a very pretty one.

    What I would really like to put on it is something like teledials but they would need to have the 4 stud holes to fit the 406.

    I stand corrected, the one in the pic has 5, thought they were all 5 stud for some reason

    Can you put a 5 stud alloy on a 4 stud car or converted a 5 stud alloy to a 4 stud, or is that a no no?

    I am guessing that would be custom work and expensive???
    What would be the steps involved, would it be possible say to take a set of teledials off a gtv and put them on a 406 coupe?

    I remember that kind of design was very popular around 2004/2005 and one of my cars had Zender Le Mans that look like them.
