    Cool! There was a place in LA county that did that mod. I can't remember their name...

    Just a bit of period-correct fun. A little Jersey shore. A little 3rd gen Camaro. A little Saved by the Bell.

    There’s a 90% chance the next project will be refinishing these in silver because they look too goofy. ;)

    Stock is clearly better, but I’m torn. It’s wild, but it’s also period-correct in my opinion. I do prefer the meatier tires for sure. They fill the wells much better.

    Driver side: 235/45 on 8” + 15mm spacer & 285/40 on 10”

    Passenger’s side: OEM

    I do think it looks better than stock, but for me the stock 348 wheels are maybe my least favorite Ferrari wheels ever put on a car, only challenged by the convex wheels put on ABS 328's and Mondial 3.2's.

    Funny, the 348 wheels are among my favorite stock wheels, if not my favorite. 360 wheels are gorgeous too, but only on a 360. I think they’re ridiculous on older cars.

    I think they look period-correct good. The Dodge Spirit reference had me howling. Like them or not ChoonHound is a maniac and love him for it!

    I want to dislike it, but you know, not terrible. Period correct fun and probably exist somewhere else :) Chromes for sure existed, but colored matched spokes in the 80’s and 90’s was much sought after.

    Enjoy you wild man!

    It should be noted, as I did in an other thread, that the highest selling 348 on BaT had this treatment. Not some random 348. One that sold for $200k. Jus’ puttin’ that out there.
