    Hey Gang, what's the current opinion/recommendation regarding affordable replacement wheels for the metric Mondial wheels?

    3.2/Mondial T OEM ones.

    Very expensive though.

    If I forget the auto-match software on the vendor websites, I can fit a tasteful 17", 5-spoke, Enkei wheel to the car. Worst misfit parameter is 15mm difference in offset - which is well within the realm of a set of quality spacers and extend length bolts. Others report that the 15mm less offset difference can even be ignored as the profile of new 17" tires (versus the 390mm baloons) allows them to clear the rear suspension adequately well. Your thoughts?

    348 wheels, very inexpensive and nice upgrade.

    1. Later 3.2/t 16" wheels - what Ferrari did
    2. 348 17" wheels - very nice upgrade, usually inexpensive; check old threads about which wheel bolts to use.
    3. Superformance/TRutlands 16" replicas of metric wheels - keeps original look


    4. Other later Ferrari wheels - 355,360, TR, others etc; will require bolts and spacers
    5. There are some aftermarket wheels , but only few good ones. Stick with OEM or premium names here. Not cheap.

    I would go with either

    -348 wheels, which actually look better on the Mondial than on the 348.

    or

    -These reproductions. A set of 4 for £700! That's only $1,100 at current conversion to USD!!
