    That would be interesting, please provide a link. If they are the ones that I looked into when I was trying to source mine, they are 18 inch diameter and will not fit carbon ceramic brakes and do not include titanium bolts and TPM sensors like mine. Apples and oranges.

    Just look on eBay, this guy is in California and he supposedly owns a factory in China and he makes those wheels, also has them in the 18 inch. Also check out a company Gensi, I think and they import the wheels from Australia but I think they made in china also

    It’s Genssi.com but I think they have 19 only like I have on my 430, I believe

    The genesis wheels will not clear carbon ceramic brakes. The guy in California is Oliver. I bought the wheels from him. Had to wait about five weeks to get them, they are made to order. If he has some in stock, you might get lucky but will pay more after shipping. Future orders may be affected by New policies. You can reach out to Oliver through eBay and he will answer your question directly. Once you do all the homework, you will realize I’m offering a fair deal. Unfortunately, there are bad people on the Internet so obviously vetting makes a lot of sense.

    I can second this. I also saw this stie when looking into ordering Oliver's wheels and to me, the site didn't look legit, I wouldn't advise anyone to submit personal data on it. Plus with the tariffs now, it make even more sense to buy car parts that have already been imported the the lower 48. Just my 2 cents.

    Thank you Gated12, are you satisfied with the wheels from Oliver? It would be helpful to have an honest endorsement (or not) from another forum member. I seem to find myself defending a very good deal on some great wheels. As mentioned, they were about to go on my cost no object Gated '08 F430 build until I lucked into a set of factory Challenge Center Lock wheels and all the adapting hardware.
    Thank you all for following this.
    PS, you will get a glimpse of my personal collection on BAT, I am selling my 2014 R8 Spider live right now:

    I don’t think $5000 is a good price for a Chinese made wheels where you can almost buy original ones for another grand or two. For all I know they may be made by same people at the same place but everybody is asking different prices you can see them advertised in Italy also and they say it’s made in China. So I’m not sure

    Do you think $4500 including brand new unused titanium log bolts and shipping is a fair deal? My next step is to post on bring a trailer, I’ve had a lot of success selling Ferrari and Porsche there from my collection. Just a little bit of a hassle to go through that, Thought it would be easy to do a deal here on the Ferrari for him

    Usual if you put it on bat no Reserve it will get real money as far as the sale, and most likely that’s all it’s worth. or of course you can put a Reserve unless Bring a Trailer doesn’t wanna do it with reserve

    You can get these made yourself for about $1700 which is what I did, pre-tariffs though. BAT will likely not accept these for an auction as they are not OEM parts.

    Go buy from those 'websites' and see what happens then...or go buy OE wheels that have been dent and fixed. Pristine BBS 19" Challenge wheels are $8k+. These wheels that Dryfly's selling here are awesome: Lighter weight, stronger and perform perfectly. If you interested, make an offer...otherwise go somewhere else and buy those. Your comments here are stale.

    100% satisfied. I had the stock starfish wheels for years, then got a set of these wheels about 18 months ago. Better turn in (from wider 245 front tire), better braking and no vibrations whatsoever at higher speeds...and yes, they clear Ferrari CCBs. Here's a picture of them mounted on my car, love the looks too. No complaints whatsoever! GLWS of these and your R8, beautiful car!

    1st of all don’t tell me where to go. Second all I said is the wheels that I made in China replicas that are forged are good wheels and there’s nothing wrong with them for quite a bit of less money. I have a set on my 430 and I have no issues whatsoever so the ones he’s selling are the same wheels that are made in China most likely imported by few of the people that are doing it and they’re the same quality for less money. And that’s the fact! Also for most people that are looking to buy these challenge wheels. They need to know the facts because not everybody’s got 6-$7000 to spend. And need to be objective.

    @43ss...You're only proving my point with your subjective comments, lol. Anyway, don't want to take away from DryFly's selling efforts. To any truely perspective buyers, these wheels are great and the seller seems top notch.

    I’m not doubting the seller and as far as the wheels go, that’s the fact that these are Chinese made good quality and their forged and their cost less than he is asking for that’s all. People that have their own opinions will decide on their own, since I have a set and I’m happy with it I don’t have any issues And don’t need to spend three times more money

    Thank you all for the lively banter!
    These wheels were going to go on my cost no object 2008 6 speed conversion before I stumbled into a set of Challenge center lock wheels and I thoroughly vetted them. Eventially someone will get it.

    You are WRONG, cheap shot, inaccurate and unnecessary. If you are going to play it that way, cite your sources and provide a link please.

    Good morning, I purchased my wheels from Oliver through his store on eBay. I believe he still sells them there. Not sure what they cost now with tariffs and shipping. Also, I purchased the titanium bolts from Acer racing. My parts are new in the box and ready to ship immediately. It may take a month or so for Oliver because I don’t believe he keeps any wheels on hand, each set is custom-made.
