    just make sure they are not more then 7 spokes. More look so strange on any Ferrari. All ferraris should be five spoke.

    It's a UK 1994 GTB with all the suspension mods. There were no spacers on my car. I think it was only the US cars that had the spacers.

    The car defenitly looks better with spacers.

    Thinking of going up to 25mm at the rear to fill out arches.

    HI I have a 94 348 (speciale) with 25mm spacers on the back. I have been told that they are standard and again that they are not standard. It is very noticeable when parked next to another 348. Pic not brilliant but shows the wheel "sticking out"

    I think they are HRE. The link below take you to a recent e-bay listing that had the same wheels. They were on the care when I bought it. Receipt from previous owner shows he paid $4k for wheels and tires. I'm buying the factory wheels for shows. At first I didn't like the wheels, but everyone else really likes them and I think it's starting to grow on me. The black on black with chrome lip seems to get everyone's attention. Thanks for the comments.

    Not throwing any flames here so no haters for this, IMHO, anything above 18" is kind of "pimped out" to me. Not sure it would improve the handling but most likely not. Again, it's your car do as you please but that size car starts looking gheto at 19", what's next? Chromed out? Again, this is only my opinion but you asked..

    Just showing my car came with these and been driving it for Years and I'm complimented everywhere I go and the car drives amazing. I don't think it's pimped out or ghetto or any of it. Seen many with 19s they look great depends on what rims obviously as well.

    That’s great advise !
    What impact would 18s have ? I’m not for 19s.
    Also if I may …is there anyway around to “lighten” up the steering wheel force applied during turns . I’m only a new owner but , I know that there’s atleast 30% more force and power I apply than the manua mechanical cars I grew up with .
    Would appreciate anyones thoughts . Thx

    They are not HRE's but a very similar design. I had them made by Augment Wheels.

    Yeah I think they look alright with 19s, but anything over 18 starts to look out of period. I remember reading an old review of the 348 and they called 17s huge haha.

    Damn ! I’m not on Instagram !!
    Will Augment wheels make a set for me I wonder . Could you please email some pics ? Not trying to steal away your uniqueness esp. if you’ve worked on these . So no pressure :)
