Speedline Challenge rims - need help

Hello, I want to buy this rims, please see the Pictures. My question, the rims could be around 20 years old, but in really good condition. What you think is the value of them and is the Age a Problem? Do they fit on a 348 or 355?

Thanks for helping

they fit on both cars, 355 and 348 and they are made of magnesium. you should inspect them properly as magnesium isn't well know for long time durability. I had them on my street-legal 355 Challenge.

 

thank you, yes, Magnesium, a Problem. What is the value, what you think? the seller sai - never used.

 

500-800 EUR each. seller says never used but repainted? (all challenge wheels came in white from speedline to the teams)

 

Yes, colour changed from white to Black.

 

I had a couple of sets straightened that had been raced seem ok...

btw speedline still sell them

also they will sell you the stickers if you refurb them

 

They still sell? Interesting, thank you. For how much?

 

I was looking for these recently as well. Here is the response from Speedline:

"Thanks for your enquiry.

Unfortunately Speedline stopped making these magnesium wheels approx 2 years ago due to the die needing costly essential maintenance. Sales had dropped off over the years and it was not cost effective to get them repaired.

Sorry we can’t help on this occasion.

Best Regards

Chris Jordan"

If you want them buy these. If you don't I might

 

Asking for the black ones is around 2000 EUR

 

I bought them, thanks for helping.

 

on ebay: Ferrari F355 /448 Challenge Speedline Corse alloy wheels 8x18 5x108 pcd genuine | eBay

 

BTW that's per wheel now.

 

Why so expensive? So rare?

 

Yes. Unusual fit that requires a custom built replacement if you do not have the stock variety. And such custom builds are inevitably expensive and heavy.

 

I had a second set of Challenge rims two years ago that I sold on Ferrarichat and ebay. They were flawless. There was not a scratch on inside or outside and I couldn't give them away. They finally sold for only $2000 for the set. Wish I had them back now.

 

i have a mint condition set in storage. sounds like no rush to sell them!

 

I had 2 sets for my 348. One for street and the other set with slicks of the track.

They never gave me any durability issues at all. The lightness just made the steering come alive. Great wheels.

I sold my second set back in 2010 for $4500.
