    Each his own but 8.5 square wide wheels on a 355 is madness imho. The rest in terms of style and design is all subjective on what amount to now old slow road cars.

    I’m trying to have 19 inch Ferrari wheels reproduced in an 18 inch copy right now. The goal is a copy of 488 Challenge Center lock wheels made out of magnesium in 18 inches. Same size and offsets as 18 inch 355 challenge wheels.

    Why tho? Those offsets are really weak.

    The center lock is going to be the same 11mm as the hill engineering spacers I'm using. And in my opinion thats as aggressive as you can get. My fenders agree with me. Had to reshape and reinforce mine after running that setup. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Ahhh, yes, the adapter. I didn’t account for that. Did you bacon your fenders? Is that why the paint?

    Haha yeah, plus one fenders paint was crap and i wanted the whole front to be perfect so the fenders got rolled and reinforced and the whole rest of the front of the car got fresh paint.
    I think now I’ll be able to run those aggressive offsets with the car challenge low and not have crazy fender interference.

    I’ve tried a lot of wheels on the 348 (not exactly the same as the 355) and I’ve leaned a lot of expensive lessons too. Peace.

    I have challenge wheels. 11mm fronts and 15mm rear spacers currently. I want to reduce the rears to either 11mm spacers or no spacers for a more sunken in look.

    Sorry 11mm front and rear

    Yeah pretty interesting since the front vendor is exactly the same, and the rear fender has the same dimensions. The only difference could be alignment, ride height, or some variation in the wheel spec
    That red car is definitely running some kind of a spacer
    That red car also rubs pretty bad in the front, it’s some of the pictures of it. You can zoom in and see the fender lip pulled out. But its good looking for sure

    It’s really hard to tell much of a visual difference between those two cars in those photos, but I probably just need an updated prescription!

    The red car has stock brakes. The yellow car has BBK 355mm rotors all around.

    Obviously because both are 18" original wheels.

    No they’re not. Neither are original wheels. Not only that, they’re two different wheels.

    19’s on yellow 355 my man. Just look at the BBK rotors relative to the wheels.

    So what are those wheels? I noticed something was off (and I liked it) but I thought it was the lightning.
