Thanks Guys, this has given me more options that I was not aware of. John, I do like your updated wheels, however, I thought the 355 wheels were 1200.00 per wheel. So that is why I never really considered them. More info on the 355 wheels would be great. By the way what kind of seats are in your 348? | ||

I don't see how you guys are getting such high prices. When I was looking for 360 rims there were a set of used ones snagged at WWoC for $1600 for all four (owner replaced with kinesis and had dealer sell them for him). And WWoC had a set of new ones laying around that they were willing to sell for like $2300 for the four, brand new in the box. I think they want like $4000-5000 at list, but you can get them to order them from Ferrari Spa for less than that. I don't work for WWoC so it wasn't like I was getting a discount, I have ordered parts through them of course though before. I think when I do swap rims I'm gonna look for a set of 550s, I used to want to go with the 360s but I think the 550s might work a bit better. This is down the road though. | ||

Yep I claim to be the guilt one with the 355 wheels on the 348. Jim I know what you mean with the older vettes 84-90 going with the new C5 sytle rims and that being pretty ugly but to me the 355 wheels are essentially the same wheels as the 512TR rode on that was a contemporary with the 348. Thus I dont consider that I put newer wheels onto my "older" car. Anyway you can actually find a set of 355 wheels pretty reasonable if you shop around or dont mind ones that have been repainted. If you go through Ferrari like I did the first time you will drop $600 a rim for the front and $1100 a rim for the rears. I can get you more information on mine and where they came from later in the day I am really busy at work right now but just wanted to respond. Check out my cars pic on my profile and I can send you more if you are interested. John | ||

I don't mind aftermarket wheels on a car, but I don't like newer fcar wheels on an older car. I have seen corvettes do this and it just looks cheesy to me. Kind of like painting the airdam and rockers on a testarossa to immitate a 512tr. Now if you paint the airdam and rockers on a 348 that is okay to me as they actually produced a factory car like that. Just my opinion though | ||

What do you guys think of the 355 rims on the 348. Another 348 owner has them on his car on the board, and they look great! I can't remember if it is Stech or Frank ? Your thoughts.... ? | ||

The previous owner installed Compomotive wheels on my car (TS Modular style in my case). Compomotives are very high quality wheels and several styles are available. http://www.usacomp.com/ | ||

There are Speedline wheels that resemble the 355 wheel that fit. Check their website for more info. | ||

Does anyone know of other wheels that fit a 1990 348ts besides HRE. I like the HRE 540 style, however, I am looking for something more reasonably priced. I like the mesh look with the polished lip. Any advice on who sells the wheels would help. Also how big can I go? 19 inch? What size tire would I need to keep the speedometer the same? Thanks in advance! |
