Lowered 328's...

HI Meister. They are 18" 3 piece 'Works' wheels. I'm not sure if "Works" is a brand or a model within a brand. If a brand, then I don't know the model.

17"s would have been better I think, but were not in stock ( as in discontinued ?) when I had the wheel "bee in my bonnet". I would never have changed my wheels if they were pre 89s. But the 89's wheels look like a 1960's prototype of how a futuristic year 2000 electric Ferrari's wheels might look. ( that sentence took me 5 minutes to compile
They were blanks and the mag shop drilled the 108 PCD to suit.

Speedlines seem to have more rounded lines and angles.

Regards
Greg

 

oh yes Greg, I remember,,you mentioned they are 18's.

well they suit the car perfectly.

 

thx for the compliments. I'm happy with it.

 

Looks perfect!

 

Do you have photos?

 

I think from the original height my car lowered about 2” front and about 1 1/2” rear.

Sweet! Looks fantastic. Exactly how I'd set up mine if I had a 308. Job well done!

 

Not a 308 or 328, but when I owned my previous 348 TS, the ride height was pretty much factory spec, and I still had to be careful going over some speed bumps, and up some sloped driveways, no big deal - I just had to be a bit cautious.

The next owner apparently decided to lower the car down, "for a better look". As I understand it, he has now damaged both front wings due to the tyres rubbing against the wheel arches as he drove up driveways, causing the arches to be pulled outwards and the paint to flake off

My current 328 GTS is factory stock height, and when I first got it, I had it delivered to my Mum's house, to park in her garage.

Her drive is down a slight slope, so the entrance has a bit of a peak, where the pavement section goes up, and the driveway section drops down.

I edged the car onto the driveway carefully, coming in at an angle, one wheel at a time, putting the driver's side wheel onto the drive first. I had @ 10mm of clearance between the peak of the ground and the floor of the car!

Had the car been any lower, then there would have been some expensive scraping going on!
