Mondial 8 with Ronal 18" wheels. The center caps have since been added. Image Unavailable, Please Login
not yet under my 308 but they will be after i finished this job. I just love the 3 pc rims. These are 3 pc Gotti's in 8" and 10" Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I thought the same thing when I saw these wheels (19" and 20" rear) for sale on Ebay. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Be tough to beat the stock look, some of these wheels just look ridiculous installed..... my 2 cents...
I partially agree, the 308 rims are perfect, but for the Mondial case I think they are too much conservative and frankly, IMHO so dull. When you give a Mondial a chance to wear nice 18 inches wheels it makes a world of difference. 19'' its still IMVVVHO, too much. You want to keep its OEM look and flavor, put the Compomotives, you are looking a more modern look the 355 or even the 360 OEM wheels give good results. Not to forget the 430 Challenge BBS as seen on the Eberlein's T.

Some more with 355 OEM rims, so nice. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I also recently found two videos on YouTube showing Mondials with modern 18'' rims. These rims, if you look at them separately, would not be considered as obvious choices to fit nicely with a Mondial, but the result is IMHO nice. http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=Tet8qHTiNSc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdI3S0dqKgo P.S. I don't know exactly how to insert links, if they aren't working here is their title: Ferrari MondialT 348 by Arkadiusz FERRARI - THE ROADMOVIE
Be tough to beat the stock look, some of these wheels just look ridiculous installed..... my 2 cents... BUt most look AWESOME and makes these cars really shine...stock wheels are dated and does not do justice to these cars
Don't be afraid to say it's the wifes car....that car rocks! (I read the profile=) Sadly though...IMO... the 355 wheels look just a slight bit better on a Mondi than the 348 wheels...sorry. It's probably like who is hotter...... Jenifer Aniston or Jenifer Garner...it's a tough call. Nice car, be proud! Thank you for all your contributions to F-Chat and us fellow owners
Dave, are those the Gotti's I sold to you dirt cheap?????? =) They look great, nice R/R job Car looks great.
Yup! Made the R & R work on them a winter project last year, and I think they turned out good. It's a neat "period appropriate" look, in my view. Thanks and Cheers - DM
I just saw on this post from 10/05/2008, black 308 with 16" replica wheels: On the picture of the car's right rear wheel/tire, it appears that the unidirectional tires are mounted backwards. The grooves should force water to be evacuated outwards to prevent hydroplaning. The other tires appear to be mounted correctly on the visible pictures. If you haven't corrected this already, I would look into it. (although not many of us drive in the rain with our cars). Otherwise I do like the classic stock looking wheels in 16". Take care, John
Those 2 mondials have Fearless wheels 17". Front is 7.5" and the rear has 8". With Pirelli P Zero on it whas about 1.500 euro for 4 wheels. There are no spacers used. Guido Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I found a close-up from that Fearless wheel. My wheel shop had drilled the holes and cut the right size, so spacers are'nt needed. Guido Image Unavailable, Please Login
Quite a few rims have been shown in this thread, but I'm still very happy with my Superformance reproduction 16" rims. While strictly speaking not the stock look for a GT4, the OEM versions of these wheels were in fact factory option in Europe on the GT4 in later model years (yes, in 16" - see tavola 36 from the 1979 308GT4 part manual). The paint one of my wheels started to crack about a year after installing it. That's about 8 months ago now. I just got a new one from Superformance. This was the first time they had the paint on one of their wheels cracking, and sent me a replacement at their expense. Excellent service! Quite a bit has been said about the weight of these. I drive my GT4 hard and I really never noticed any negative effects of heavy rims. They DO have a bit more offset than the 15" compomotives that I had on there previously. Result: the turning circle has grown even more because the fronts rub.... I'm at about 50 ft turning circle now, if not more...
