    Hello Martin, yes they are 14", with nice new tires, not quite a fat as the ones in your PIC but plenty for any potholes that I may encounter............
    I have yet to install them because, of the factory wheels studs being too short.......I have purchased extended wheel studs, but just now found lug nut's that extend into
    the hole for this problem, not sure which direction I should go...............if I put the extended wheel studs in; then if I switch out wheels I have the problem of long wheel
    studs to deal with, I am leaning toward the lugs............has anyone had this problem \ opinions \ advise?

    Open ended lugs for the other wheels.

    Yes, that will work with the Panasports / Watanabe wheels, and I guess I will not use the BBS wheels on the Italia...........
