550 Maranello And 550 Barchetta Wheels

The latter.

 

Those are modular wheels and they were an option of 550's much like fender shields and quilted rear shelf / headliner.

 

Affirmative, a factory option that was one of the Scaglietti Options introduced in the 97/98 timeframe. Not too many originally fitted to early 550s, since it was apparently not well marketed.

 

I bought them from a 512tr. Same size....but they allways lost air....you must repair them

Tim- The 512 TR modulars are 1/2" narrower front and rear, 15x8 front and 15x10 rear. The 512M TR wheels were 10.5" rear, but still only 8" wide in the front.

 

I did not write that the original was on a 512tr. A 512tr owner had these Speedline rims mounted only on his 512tr and then he sold his 512tr with the original rims and sold me these rims for 1000 €. The price I found fair. On my F512GTB (F355 with 512tr engine and gearbox) I have the original Maranello rims mounted with 225 front and 265 rear .

1000 euros = theft

 

Exactly 997€....This are only old Speedline rims....sometimes it is so grazy when I see prizes in America... for my Maranello I pay expensive 37.000€ in 2015!

sorry I bought it october 2014...

 

That’s what I call a good business man! I got a set of the Barchetta wheels myself and put them on, but the car looks much older with these rims on. I sold them for 10.000 USD and put the original wheels back on and it looks better in my opinion. I also sold the complete luggage set and got a 2002 BMW M3 cabrio for the money of those two uneccesary 550 options. Much better value in my opinion.

How is the 355 going with that engine? Which transmission is in it?

 

the original rims I need for semi slicks for both cars. Sometimes I get cheap pieces, sometimes not. The used Grand Turismo Brakes for 1150€, the 2 leather bags for 2500€, the two big bags for 500€ without 550 Logo. New F355 bags 3 pieces from Ferrari for 1000€, 512tr bag for 250€, big 512tr bag for 450€. When you have time here in Europe you get somtimes with luck good pieces.......I buy and never sell! Here in Germany we have a special Ebay, without paying extra for selling. Here sell the German scotish People!!!!! https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/
A 512tr engine has allways a 512tr transmission. It is faster as a 512tr. Ferrari say OK for the rebuilding with 512tr engine.

We had a lot of warranty issues with them leaking.

 

I have a 2001 550 that came from the factory with barchetta wheels it is on the window sticker I think they look great and I have never had an issue with them holding air.. they work fine to me.. I also like the looks on a 550 better then any other wheel

 

Ferrari learned from the 550 modulars. No seals on the 575M modulars between the rim and hub sections.

 

simply with body glue inside over the rubber pull a sealing seam and they are always tight. Even Ferrari does that,

 

i have two mint fronts for sale that need homes
