Pics of 355 with Challenge Rims

I just got my Speedline decals back from a graphics shop so they should look identical to those posted by other guys on this thread but I am wondering if anyone has a good image file of the "Speedline Corsa" image? David "Lusso64" provided a perfect jpeg for the Speedline part but I would like to do the Speedline Corsa with the red Corsa in addition to the black Speedline. Even a photo of a wheel will work, I can have a graphic designer replicate it. Once I have the wheels completed and red OMP WRC seats installed, I will send new photos. Thanks again David for the Speedline file, that was perfect.

 

Found this image, it might do the trick if a graphic designer can figure out the font for the Corse letters.

Mike, no worries mate.... I REALLY need to get my wheels painted....

 

Almost complete now. I have added the proper Speedline lettering and installed one OMP WRC Challenge seat. The other bracket set was wrong so for now it is a 355 Monoposto.

White looks great with yellow.

Is your seat carbon or fiberglass? I was thinking of one for my 348C. Is it comfortable for long rides?

 

I opted for the OMP WRC fiberglas because it was more affordable and I will not track my car. I do have one OMP 360 Challenge carbon fiber for sale but I think shipping to you would be prohibitive. I just drove my car to Lake Tahoe yesterday, about 2 hours each way and it was very comfortable although you feel much more of the road in this seat but the twisties are MUCH more fun.

 

Everyone has a opinion--mine---ugly----don't like the CS wheels... The yellow car above looks great though---love that yellow

 

I wasn't 100% sure about the white Challenge wheels myself. Once I added the red Challenge OMP seats, it helped a lot. The car is set up now just like a 1995 Challenge car. In 95 they ran production cars and no wings yet. Just wheels and seats and some engine and suspension mods so this is basically a 95 355 Challenge clone but it won't be tracked. I just wanted something different but keeping it period correct. Most of the yellow Challenge cars ran with the white Speedlines. They originally came from JMB in white so I had them restored as original. They are growing on me.

 

Ok not wheel pics but a model of some kind of 355 challenge.....

Mike, not to be critical (I really like the yellow with white), but did you notice the lettering on your wheels is on different spoke front and rear. On the front it's the spoke to the right of the valve, but the rear it's opposite the valve stem.

Does anyone know where the original lettering was in relation to the valve stem?

 

Just went outside to check.... I have an original set of wheels.

All 4 are the same, with the air valve on the second segment clockwise from the spoke with the sticker. Like this.....

Yes that's how mine are. Just noticed that Mike's where on the opposite spoke on the rear.

 

OK, now I need some challenge wheels!!! I have read conflicting #'s on the width's. What are the actual widths on these, front and rear and who is going to sell me some ??

BTW Does anyone know what that yellow challenge model I posted earlier is?? It has some very wide bodywork. Was it a factory design??

 

Martin at Cavallino Motors I think has a set for sale. The fronts are 18x8 and rears 18x10.

The model looks like a 355 challenge, maybe wide at rear. It might just be the pics or deminsions of the model. The '97 ('96?) and up had the rear wing. I don't recall Ferrari racing the 355 in any sport car series like the 360 GTC. Someone may know more.

 

Thanks!!

 

More pics of challenge wheels!!!

 

Richard, I haven't been watching the forum lately. Good eye. I did not realize I had done that with the lettering. I ended up selling them and the buyer is having them redone in silver. I gave him a fresh set of decals so hopefully he does a better job than I did. I like the OEM wheels better but am glad I went through the exercise, got it out of my system.

 

Good lord - that's petrolhead porn!

 

Nice "B"

 

Here's another challenge wheels
