    Not exactly the same, since these are 16 Speedlines on my GT4, but really close. I may know where to get a set of 17"ers just like these. (looks like the stars are a bit less narrow on the 16's, but not sure if the 17's start to narrow more to look like your photo examples. You'd have to get Cavallino Rampante center decals, but does the design look about right? I prefer these to most currently available wheel designs.

    #1: Do you want me to try to locate a set of 17" Speedlines?

    #2: Assuming #1 is successful, what is your price range? (so I don't waste my contacts time).

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your replys! The Image alloys are a bit flat compared to the speedlines,but a very good option.I may have to go with Image as they are based in the UK, and i live in N.Ireland.Though i must admit i really like the speedlines.I know they are not cheap but if the carrage to N.Ireland is'nt ridiclous yes then i'm interested...

    IIRC, HRE is out of the Ferrari 308 fitment line for now, we tried to get a buy together on a recent thread but could not agree on the 16 vs. 17 vs. 18 question and they had a miniimum to meet on the casting batch.

    Thats too bad. Seems like splitting in the middle (17") would have been the way to go?

    Hi Jonathan,

    Didn't know you were in Ireland. I'd say that the cost of US to Europe shipping/customs duties would make this endeavor not worthwhile pricewise.

    Good luck in your search.

    In my driving experience only, I feel 16" as a "Plus 2" package over the OEM 14"s of my 1976-77s is enough, the later cars has a redesigned suspension, but going to the current vogue 'rubber band' sidewalls isn'd such a good idea. It's too hard on the car.

    On my cars with 16"s I have cracked the front under tray pretty severely and sometimes cut a sidewall on the rear liner.
    No big deal with Goodyear sponsorship but I have restored 14" sets for my cars for 'show' using 16" and GSD3 F1 Eagles on the streets.

    Speedline 17s on a 3.2 - I think it is the definitive wheel for the car -- OEM and sold at European Ferrari dealers as an OTC option

    I spoke to compomotive UK, they said that their 3 piece, 5 spoke wouldnt fit a mondial as there isnt enough room from the hub to the outside of the car.but i dont know how many ive seen with this type of alloy. Its got something to do with the 5 spoke being so straight or flat ie not bending back in around the hub. I also spoke to speedline they said it was a dated pic and didnt make it or sell any Ferrari alloy to the public since about 7 yrs ago.Does anybody know someone who has this type of rim on their MONDIAL i need make model and sizes,only ones which fit properly and dont rub.Or even better is any one out there selling a set?

    JF 308 and sparta49. I might have a good contact for shipping those rims, could you give me a price, to see if it would be worth while. Do they have tyres, condition and are they off a mondial. You can send me a private message if you wish. Thanks...
