Ok, so the deal is when I am feeling Old School am sticking with the GTC's and when I want to be a "Hipster" go with the HRE's! Thanks guys, I appreciate your input tremendously... Yes the fenders are pressed and were "punched" with the proper press tool.
Ok, been a while. The Speedlines are more comfortable with my size tires, 285-30-18 rear and 225-40-18 front. Speedlines are 18x10 rear and 18x8 front. Compared to the HRE's that are 18x11 rear and 8x8.5 (possibly 9) on the front. So the Speedlines tuck in quite a bit, my question to the brotherhood, if I were to put spacers front and rear on the Speedlines, what size should I go with? Am looking at Hill Spacers, then the other question is will I need bolts? I have 2 different sets, one set for the Speedline and the other for the HRE's. Wondering if the HRE bolts will work if I am extending the wheels out a bit with spacers. So if you have sometime, and would like to help a brother out, let me know Thanks! FYI, I put the Speedlines away after mounting them for a few days on the car, never put them back on... It's time to go old school but with an aggressive stance!
The GTC wheels are my favorite for the 348. Sorry I can't help with spacers... To refresh, here's your photos again. Image Unavailable, Please Login View attachment 2621386
For comparison, here's an original GTC, which makes your rear tire look rather short (lower profile). Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I know this was posted a year ago but this is definitely something I've noticed that is odd about the 348. Rear wheels sit very weird in the arch. As for the wheels, GTC all the way
Thanks Drock28, but am asking about spacers, am use to the setup the HRE's have, being they are wider at about 1" in the rear and either 1/2 to 1 inch at the front... Just wondering what size in mm spacers I would need...
Well I hate to bring this old thread up again, but after having these wheels sit around for so long, I am thinking of selling them. These GTC Wheels truly only have a maximum of 2 miles on them. No kidding no lie no B.S. I put rubber on them to protect them and see how the car looked with them only, did not want them getting banged up or scratched up (rear tires are good, fronts so so) but I am thinking of selling them. So you know, they are perfect, seriously a max of 2 miles on them. They will come with the correct Bolts (2 miles on those), brand new Center Caps (yup you guessed it 2 miles on those too) and finally I had to hunt these down when I first purchased the wheels but the original Valve stems for these wheels, not cheap or easy to find and guess what (2 miles on those too). They are not going to be inexpensive, most likely + 10K or there about is what am looking for - and I am in no hurry what so ever. I thought I would see what kind of feedback I get. Seriously these are like BRAND NEW, no make that they are brand new but had tires mounted on so that I could get the visual I wanted and see how it rode, I liked it but like the more aggressive HRE's style and never put them back on. Anyone who knows me here can vouch that whatever I have sold is exactly how it is described from Ferrari parts to Rolex's. If anyone wants more pictures please send me a message.
I’ll give you $6k cash (if you’re local ... socal) + a set of these 355 wheels. Don’t need your tires . You can keep your center caps too. Just want the wheels. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Thanks I am in So Cali, but no thanks. As I mentioned no hurry at all and if I do not get the price I want they will stay where they are. FYI I never was too much a fan of 355 stock wheels, although a huge improvement from 348 stock wheels IMHO
Your wheels + tires + center caps... asking $10k. Without tires + center caps... that’s what? $9k ? $6k cash + 355 wheels (w/old tires with alot of tread) isn’t far off, but whatever floats your boat .
What tires and sizes do you have? Age of the tires? Center caps. Which do you have? The period correct ones with the clear plastic? Do you happen to know the sizes and offsets of the wheels?
I understand your "want" but do not your math. It does not work for me. Enjoy your wheels you have. Again thanks but not thanks. Not going to happen, and BTW thats my "ship" not a "boat"
Are you serious about selling? Do you have an asking price? If you are serious about selling and have an asking price, if you can answer my questions regarding tires and wheel caps, then I can figure out if the math works. 355 wheels can be worth anywhere between $3000 to $4,500 depending on condition. The last new set sold on Ebay for $5500 and there are none for sale currently on Ebay. They’re worth good money whether you take em or I sell em. Figured it’d save some time if you did want them.
