the wheels on ebay are from a 360. They are not 550 modular wheels and they are not 575 modular wheels as those are 19" and these are 18". | ||

Those are with out a doubt 360 wheels. BTW... AND THATS A GREAT PRICE. The rims sell for $12k for a new set if not bought when delivered. | ||

Don't know whether this helps but.... The factory size for the 360 wheels is: Front: 215/45ZR-18 Rear: 275/40ZR-18 The factory size for the 550 wheels is: Front: 255/40ZR-18 Rear: 295/35ZR-18 Given the measurements they provide I would say these are for the 360 and not the 550. Just my $0.2.... | ||

  See what I mean? The location of the stem is different. Also the number of 'bolts' is different. | ||

Dan, thanks for pointing that out. I was looking at the "deep-disk" appearance of and the fact that the valve stem is located on different then ones on 550's I have seen. | ||

Mark/Omar, the modular wheels on the 575 are different than those of the 550 barchetta. --Dan | ||

Does anyone know if these will fit a 348? Btw, Omar, the guys who are selling these wheels are pretty straight up guys... there are quite a few of Fcars/PCars represented by ByDesign that come out on local So Cal drives all the time, so I would have no reason to doubt this... They do have a resemblance to the 360 modular wheels, but I'm pretty sure they are for the 550. | ||

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=38662&item=2435567555 Yes they look similar to 550/575 rims they are in fact not. I think they are for 360s in reality. Anyone else confirm my suspicions? Am I just insane? Thanks. |
