    Hi guys, my name is OB. I’m just about to pick up a new to me, 348. I’m super excited. I just sold my 997.2 and a Ferrari is next on my list. Anyways, my heart is set on some challenge wheels, originals or reproduction style. Only problem is I’m having toughest time locating any, any leads anybody can hand out to me? I’d be happy to buy brand new or used.
    Thank you very much for any help in advance. I look forward to many hours, snooping around on this forum.

    I’m also not 100% decided on the 348 I’m going to buy, I have two on my short list. But if anybody has a car or knows of one in SoCal especially at TB I’m probably interested

    Hi there, thanks for the reply. Do you mean the GT which is it part of their historic collection? How close to the original is that wheel, do
    you know? Looks very similar but not the same.

    I have so much I need to learn about this platform!!! Center locks?? Best BBK??? Are headers worth it??? Best weight saving strategy??? My favorite part of getting into another fun car, learning everything. Build it sell it do something different, at least that’s my normal MO. These are so old info isn’t that easy to come across.

    I 100% agree!!! Nice one you have there.
    They sure are getting hard to find. I might have to have that Euro company build me a set in magnesium $$$

    If you have a set it wouldn’t be the first time I bought parts for a car I don’t have yet. Not even close to the first time. Let’s make a deal!

    Haha I can’t make any promises. But I have learned some lessons from all my past special toy cars. It has to be able to go back to stock.

    eBay has speedline reproductions and new old stock. Look under 355 wheels.

    First place I looked, but not one set of magnesium challenge wheels that I can find. But it’s ok some forum members are able to help out I think.

    Quick question for you guys that have been dealing with challenge parts. Did they start producing the later race wheels in aluminum instead of mag? Is there a way visually to tell the difference? I’m guessing the aluminum ones are quite a bit heavier?
