    I ve just discovered that my 308 has 3 wheels 16x7 and only 1 16x8. Although its hand written 7, I measured 8.
    Being so, I want to buy another 16x8 and place in the rear, of course. Like that, I can use the original 205/55-16 on the 16x7 wheels (front) and the 225/50-16 on the 16x8 wheels (rear).
    Anyway… my biggest question is if anyone knows this “K N Alloys – Made in UK” that are already in my car? Are those good quality? Is that still available? Where could I buy? Any problem about not using the same brand of wheels in one side, I mean, can I buy a generic like Ferrari Alloys Wheels from Tyresave
    Thanks a lot

    Superformance sells the KN wheels. And they will sell less than the whole set. The KN wheels are the reproduction notorious for getting the rear wheel design slightly wrong - the KN wheels' lips are the same front and rear and OEMs differ front and rear.

    The wheels you have made by KN Alloys are reproduction wheels of the 16" wheels offered by Ferrari. They are made of pressure cast aluminum and are heavier than the Ferrari wheels but are of high quality and not very expensive.

    The wheels are made by KN Alloys but the tooling is owned by Superformance in England. If you call KN they will direct you to Superformance to buy. Wheels can be bought individually and I have had them for over 10 years and am very happy with them.
