    Yep, original Speedline rims had just the Speedline logo. I opted to go for the later Corse logo's - just my preference really

    The polished ones are mine. They are Speedline's and they are CH. The offsets are different. They are very light and I love them. $10 Grand and they are yours :). They were the last set in the country. Cannot be found now. So, if I mess these up, back to the stock wheels.

    Sorry to disagree but they are not the same wheel used on the challenge cars the white wheel is the one used on the CH cars. Yours might be Speedlines and maybe an update style etc. but they are a different type, your spokes look thinner and lip is different, not the fact that it is polished the angle looks different.

    I really couldn't care less. I like mine.

    I had those on my TR and they are not Challange wheels. The offsets are different and the spokes are different. They are the SAC wheels and are aluminum. I have Challange wheels on my F355 and there is a distint difference. They are nice wheels though and are very light.

    +1. The white Speedies are the real McCoy. Note the spokes extend out to accomodate the bigger brakes and calipers of the 355CH.

    JSL's polished lips are nomenclatured as Speedline CH, manufactured by Speedline JP IIRC for Speedline America,CEC (Clause Ettensberger(sp?) Corp, USA) and are NOT Challenge wheels as used in the 355 Challenge series. I knew this for a fact when during my tenure of my ex 355, I saw their adverts at the back of Forza and made a call to them.

    The real CH wheels are Magnesium, correct me if I'm wrong, and can't be polished.
