    Hi Everyone,

    This is my first post since joining the forum and buying my 348 (love the car now and always have since I was a teenager), and I first wanted to say "Thank You" for all the great information that I've read up to date from all of the members. Now to my question; Does anyone know the original application of the wheels that are currently on my car in the picture? I know they are Speedline's, 17x9F (can't find the offset) and 17x10R 44ET (widened to 17x11, the 44ET is before the widening) and are set very nicely within the wells. The centercaps are screw-on types, with a 2-pin spanner wrench needed for removal. I'm looking to update the car with a newer factory wheel, and would like to know what the current wheels were originally fitted to so that I can describe them correctly if I sell them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe

    I know nothing of the wheels Joe, but I want to welcome you to Ferrari Chat. :)

    Congrats on the 348 also. This forum is a wealth of information, I hope you take care and enjoy. :)

    Wheels are common to the 308 / 328 series.

    I've sent a PM, as I have a full set of 355 wheels, which some owners fit to their 348s. I would be interested in your wheels as a possible exchange.

    Congrats on your car !

    Hit up Plugzit, as he has the same style rims on his 358. And yes that is not a typo, I did type 3-5-8. ;)

    You have a pm Enrique.

    Those are late 80's 2-peice modular Testarossa wheels.

    We were told that those wheels were the original 348 Challenge wheels, before the 18" Speedlines. The TR's are similar.

    The wheels are called Speedline 'Mistral'. Yeah...late '80s thru early '90s' products. Mistrals were then superseded by the later 'Alessio', with thinner spokes and 18"diameter.
