I love the white challenge wheels. Anyone know where I can get a set? I don't know how good they would look on a yellow spider though.
STUNNING!!!! So you were the winner of the eBay auction, huh? I'm kicking myself for not bidding. Those center caps sure like nice too. -Daniel
Congrats! Those are Speedlines are still the best match in my opinion & they're tough to get. Why is it that nobody's re-producing them again?
Thanks, new caps came from Daniel if no one got that one. I got these wheels from the original owner who raced the car. Had them refinished (painted and even remade the lettering).
The wheels look very nice mate. I never saw them on ebay,otherwise i would have bid on them myself. Im thinking about getting a new set of wheels also,if i can find something i like
I have Challenge wheels on mine for 10+ years now....they look great and the reduced weight makes the steering feel great. I have an extra set that I may want to sell. If anyone wants them let me know.
They are 18 in. I think they were the same for 348 and 355. Amazingly they are about 5 lbs. per wheel lighter. I wish I would have weighed them before i put them on.
I've been thinking about those dang wheels all morning. Geez they look good. I've got to find some Speedlines in black. As you know, black 348's are "it".
Attached are some pics of the 18's I put on my car a few weeks ago. They're the Chinese knock offs from E-Bay. I had to use spacers and longer lug bolts on the fronts. Based up comments I've read on this board I wouldn't track the car with these wheels but for street use it's a neat setup and I think it makes the car look a lot more agressive. I haven't really noticed a difference in ride quality, but then again it was bad to begin with, ha. They're 8.5" on the front and 10.0" on the back.

Nice contrast with the white on a black car. Super nice. Are you going to put spacers on the rears so it looks like a later car?
No spacers. The wheels actually fill out wheel well nicely. Can't really tell from pics. '94's did not have wider track like '93's. And the challenge wheels were not used originally with spacers. Realistically could not get 25 mm spacers without wheels pertruding behond wheel well. I don't think for mostly street driving it would offer much in performance either.
