Anyone: Are there any 18" or 19" wheels that will fit a '97 456? If so, what is a good source, new or used?
John- Here you go. Search "456 wheels" for a lot more info. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156067&highlight=456+wheels Taz Terry Phillips
John- There is a set of 550 18" modulars on E-Bay, plus two rear 575M 18" wheels, and FerrariAds above quite frequently has wheels for sale. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/vbclassified.php?do=ad&id=2651 Also, you can contact Chris (Exoticar Auto Inc. [[email protected]]) to see if he has any sets of wheels and tires. Ricambi has new OEM wheels for sale. They are one of our sponsors. Taz Terry Phillips
John- One more set on E-Bay. Not a 550 wheel expert, so not sure if these are the recalled magnesium wheels or the replacement aluminum wheels. A 550 expert will know the difference. The mag wheels showed cracking, so be careful. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FERRARI-550-575-REAR-WHEEL-WHEELS-RIM-RIMS_W0QQitemZ230326941743QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item35a08e382f Taz Terry Phillips
Those are the recalled magnesium wheels and should be avoided. (The later wheels have 5 notches in the hub and the spokes are scooped out on the back sides).
Seems like the set on ebay have some problems ...lots of rust and the fastener bolts are all chewed up. + high price. Thats why I passed when he contacted me.
Wheels, like many other items, come up for sale all the time on ebay; you just have to keep checking regularly. I've gotten all sorts of f-stuff at very low prices and turned down several opportunities for 550 wheels.
