    I will post on ad this weekend but I have a set of essentially new white 355 Challenge wheels with also essentially new Mich Pilot Super sports in OEM size (265 rear) with necessary long bolts and new metal center caps.

    The fronts came from Ricambi (with the logo on the wheels), the rears from Speedline UK, (they are in production, "retrospective" type 2017 LeMans) no logos.

    A new set is easily $5k, and tires are $950.

    Asking $4000 complete. Thanks!

    Some pictures on the car here (they are not on the car now):

    I can confirm that J is excellent to deal with when it comes to buying parts from him. I purchased a set of 355 wheels from him last summer. They arrived promptly and were in the exact condition he described.

    I have bought parts from John before. He's a great guy and he has always been very helpful with advice. Just a quick plug for the seller in case anyone is on the fence.

    I paid about $4,500 all said and done including shipping from Speedline UK along with importing fees. Brand new. At the time of purchase there were 2 other sets left with an inquiry from Japan and Australia. They might be all sold out. 4,000 with tires is a smokin deal.

    I had been communicating with J. Salmons in regards to possibly purchasing these challenge rims several weeks ago. I had fallen in love with the challenge rims and was so close to purchasing them, until I had to take care of another issue on my F355 B that I needed to attend to. I had told J. Salmons through F-chat pm that I had to get back to him about purchasing the rims, possibly in another week after I had to take care of some cosmetic issues on my car. I was crushed to see the message above that the rims had been sold. Today I just got my car back from some cosmetic paintwork after being gone for 2 weeks...as I opened my garage door space to park my car, I noticed some wheels and tires lying in the garage that were still in its packaging. The rims were not readily visible, but I could see that the tires were Michelin PS super sports and then noticed the name of J. Salmons on the mailer info...$!&@/!
    Somehow, J. Salmon's challenge rims with tires found their way into my garage!
    It seems that my wife has been reading my f-chat pm's and contacted J. unbeknownst to me. She had purchased the rims as a surprise as a present for our 10 year anniversary. I was totally blown away by this. I am truly a lucky guy, and I know that I picked the right girl!

    Just wanted to share this.
