    Gorgeous wheels that really suit the 348. Anyone know what brand/model they are?

    They are Ronal wheels but I don't know if Ronal is in business here in the U.S. anymore, maybe Europe? I got them at Ronal in Huntington Beach California...you might check anyway.

    They're Ronal LZ-VT wheels. I think Ronal USA closed shop. So unless you find a place that has NOS, or buy them used from someone, they might be difficult to come by for a 348.

    Here's a shot from a show I was at a few months ago. I thought the angle was pretty cool and really showed off the rear wheels and new P-Zeros.

    The tail lights look pretty cool as well. :D:D:D

    Great Pictures guys. Keep them coming. Love the challenge wheels on the 348. Never seen those on one.

    I just love the look of the CS wheels on the 348. I am rather fickle when it comes to wheels and I keep thinking about 512TR wheels. However, these days, I think if I was going to change from the 348 stock wheels, these would definitely be the ones I'd go for. :cool:

    ^ Note: to be applied to the future when I actually have a 348 to change the wheels of. :eek:​

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I had the pleasure of being driven in a 997 TT 6spd 500hp awd yesterday by a friend & impressive it was for sure.I hopped out of the Porsche & got directly into a 2008 Dodge Viper 600 hp V10.totally different cars.The one thing I was sure of when I got out of each i that I liked my car the most.The Porsche is too sedate & the Viper is too hotrod-ish .My car was modded by the original owner significantly so maybe Im spoiled,I dont know.That being said you can keep the porsche,keep the vipers & vettes of this world.I Love my 348.Its so underrated it makes me sick.All the nay sayers can TRY to follow me down a winding interstate & they too will believe.Its a blast to the end.My friend Joe owns the Viper & after yesterday I called him up for his long overdue drive in the 348 which he calls a Fiat lovingly Im sure as does Tom who owns the 997 TT to which I refer to as a Beetle.So I pick him up & after a brief period of time he knew he was NOT IN A DODGE ) We blasted onto the highway achieving a friendly cruizn speed of 100+ weaving through traffic effortlessly on a road that I had 4 lanes to pick through.I didnt go over 120-130,like why bother the way i moved through lanes was mesmorizing to him.Now Ill tell you that he & Tom have watched me spend many tens of thousands fixing it & the extreme grief that goes with it while they are busting my balls all the time BUT after that drive with me he acknowledged why I keep it going.5yrs 30k of drivin & still kickin.Its brilliant.Go 348!!!!Come get some!!!
