    Hi all,

    Can anyone give me suggestions for (ideally UK supplied) 348 challenge style five-spoke wheels? I love the clean retro look but understand the original magnesium sets are pretty scarce. Am I right in that they are 8x10 / 10x18? I’m not sure on the offsets however, or if there are some known wheels that are available in the right dimensions.

    many thanks

    Thanks…not too bothered about them being magnesium, with UK roads I’d prefer they weren’t most likely. Also Augment are based in Canada…

    Isn’t that good? The exchange rate is very favorable.

    Nothing that’s going to outweigh import tax and shipping four wheels across the Atlantic - I’d like the offsets and to know if there are existing wheel designs other owners have found to fit?

    Dimensions are:
    8J x 18 ET49
    10J x 18 ET 68

    i’ve been looking for them as well and was lucky to find a used magnesium set!

    just now i found a company in Germany who replicates them in aluminium. They’re located in Stuttgart and are called VIPFELGEN GMBH. The replica’s only miss the speedline decals…

    I am selling my original magnesium set here in Seattle. I haven't advertised them beyond talking to a couple relatively local parties and mentioning I had them on the 348 facebook group.
