    Pattern means reproduction.

    Elliot, do you think it would it be a magnesium alloy or an alloy wheel heavier than OEM one?

    have to ask Eurospares, id highly doubt it to be magnesium. Even Ferrari learnt their lesson with magnesium wheels. It would probably be better if they were mostly alloy content for durability and ease of refinish.

    I have one. It is not magnesium. Its aluminum alloy but looks virtually identical to OEM Side by side, you couldn't tell them apart. I would sell mine if interested. Its in good shape but not perfect (has a few small scuffs).

    I'm surprised they'd repro those and not challenge rims...

    Stock 355 wheels are a dime a dozen. Just keep your eyes open.

    I bought a second hand OEM rim about 4 years ago because my one had a buckle in it. I paid a $1000 plus $300 to get it painted. Last week when I got new tyres fitted, the tyre guy said it was buckled, but they managed to balance it ok. Its got about 4x the weights on it compared to the other straight rims. I'm thinking I just buy a brand new one, not worth the risk in buying dodgy second hand ones...
