    if u can get the wheels at a good price buy them.
    If u try them and are not happy with them
    u can get someone to machine up to 25mm off the wheel hub.

    I bought mine from Italy and asked to have the offset the same as the wider rear track as per the 348 spider.

    Roberto, are you able to try the rears on your car before you take possession?

    Unfortunately I can't, if I ended up buying them, I will have to take the chance and perhaps do as Paolo advised ...

    if u dont want BBS or Ferrari to build u a set for u.
    Go with the 355 wheels.
    I think 355 wheels are more nicer as the 355 and 348 are very similar in shape

    I totally agree.

    Good 355 wheels are hard to find. I have been looking for 9 months and still nothing.

    I already bought the bolts and the new tires :)

    Looking for any good leads...

    I would strongly recommend against having the off set changed on 360 wheels, to do this they machine ~20mm off the mounting plate and therefore remove strength from that plate. It is a risk I would defiantly not take....

    Firstly I am not against swapping rims on cars. But this is a no no.

    I am biting my tounge here, but here it goes. Do not do it!! Those 360 wheels ruin the handling of your car totally, it will wander on the road, be slower, ruin wheel bearings, give more stress on drive shafts. Jep - a friend of mine has been there done that. And the same thing happend to my competitors in racing who use 348s. They went back to stock rims and BETTER TIRES - then much faster laps. That´s the clue - get good tires onthe 348 and you will feel the difference.

    Find some aftermarket wheels with the right ET, or put the stock ones back on. Ferrari knew what they where doing. Why get a bad handling car to be even worse...

    But luckily people can do what they want - so take my advice or not. You have been warned. If you put them on - go and buy a set of bearings at the same time. You will need them.

    Cheers,

    Christer

    Please tell, how does 360 rims do all this? I've been thinking of something different on mine as well but your the first to suggest problems like this from using the 360 rims, how does this affect wheel bearings?
