    i have this complete set of magnesium wheels for F40
    they are VERY VERY light, almost unbelievable how light the rears are for their dimensions
    fronts are 8 x 17
    rears are 13 x 17
    they have OZ RACING brand and magnesio script on the 2 fronts

    are these optional F40 wheels for the road? or specific racing equipment? i think they look very similar to F40 LM wheels i have seen but i am not an F40 expert so i cannot be 100% sure they are F40 LM wheels

    any help appreciated

    Emilio, these are the 18" wheels for those who have done the F50 brake upgrade (aka 355mm Brembo big brake kit) that look like the LM wheels but are actually not real LM wheels. I have a set of Speedlines on my car that are similar to these (8.5x18 front, 13x18 rear). Real LM wheels are something like 11" wide in the front and 14" wide in the rear - too big to fit street F40s without change to control arms and bodywork.

    Sorry, overlooked that. If they're 17" wheels, they're definitely not LM wheels.

    Hello Emilio

    I might be interested in the set.

    I bought a set of a different design off La Scuderia Rossa but I have still not received them. Orlando Vetrano has promised me a full refund if he cannot ship them very soon. If that happens I will be talking to you about this set.

    Regards

    Paul.

    Scam, big time. I had a horrible experience that lasted over 6 months with La Scuderia Rossa

    Absolute manipulator, broken promises, robs Peter to pay Paul, it goes on and on...

    correct
    i sold the 17" to one of the italian racing F40 cars

    i still have the 18 wheels and they are nothing short of fantastic items for an F40 owner and a great chanche to upgrade brakes and tyres options on the F40

    Hi Emilio,

    Are your 18" F40 wheels still available?
    If so, I would like to speak with you about them.

    Thank you,

    Jim

    Yip I hope he finally gets what’s coming to him. He tried to scam me for $10,000 years ago. Thank goodness I paid with a CC and got the money back.
