Anyone have the rear wheels for a speciale they would trade for perfect rear set for 348tb?
348 spider rear wheels are the same as 348 Serie Speciale rear wheels. That might help widen your search.
thanks Jerry, forgot to mention that, although I have had a "wanted" ss or spider ad up for 6 months in the for sale section.
Yes, essentially the same solution. Do you recall the equivalent thickness? Hill Engineering - Collections - Ricambi America, Inc.
thanks, I thought of that and might end up going that way if I can't find rear set. Wade, did you mean spcer thickness or wheel size difference?
Yes, spacer thickness. I had the 25mm spacers with stock wheels and OEM sized tires. Afterwards, the wheels appeared to be set out too far (track too wide?).
Agreed. The Speciale wheels were built to add 2" (1", or 25 mm per side) or rear track. So 25 mm spacers are the same as factory SS/Spider wheels. But if you own a Speciale, as riverflyer does, I can see wanting the original wheels. In which case I'd be searching eBay for Spider wheels, which show up on occasion for perfectly reasonable money.
Also searching for the front lip or someone who can duplicate one in cf. Any leads on either would be much appreciated.
I can take an up-close picture for you tomorrow. The fit and finish are great. I seem to recall they had either a lip in primer which was ready for paint or one that is a full carbon weave that looks great. I chose the full carbon weave that contrasts well with the rossa corsa paint.
