    I think those are the best looking wheel on a 348. Isn't that what Kevallino has on his?

    BBS does sell whells that fit Ferrarris, including spine drives. So does Kinesis ( damn, I can never spell that right), and Speedline.

    These wheels look like BBS, but then they also look like some of the Kinesis line.

    These used to be called Speedlines Monolites but I'm pretty sure that they are now called Champion Monolite RG5's. I think the reason for this is b/c Champion used to make these for Speedline but now put their own name on the rims.

    I agree - not Monolites as they are three-piece wheels and the Monolites are not (I have 19" Champion Motorsport Monolites on my Porsche and they don't have the bolts around the perimeter). The wheels on my 348 are definitely three-piece wheels and are not BBS or HRE. They were on the car when I got it, and whenever they have been off of the car I have had uglier issues than who made the rims so I couldn't be arsed to look for the wheel manufacturer.

    Having said that, I believe they are Speedline/Cargraphic wheels, but I'm not sure whether they are available for the 348/355 anymore. At the Champion Motorsport website they still show availability for the 360 in a couple different styles including ones that look like mine. Cargraphics has a wheel for the 355 but they show a double-ten spoke and not a double-eight spoke as a current offering.

    If anyone knows for sure I'm interested as I could see upgrading to 19's on my car, maybe. Or I might do something different when and if I put some whacking big Brembos on it, but that is down the track a bit. Need an interior upgrade first.

    Cheers
    Kevin

    Pic of the Porker with absolutely for sure Champion Motorsport RG5 Monolites - note lack of bolts as these are for sure not 3-piece wheels...

    i wanted BBS for the 308, yet BBS would not custom make them so i decided on Kinesis as you mentioned. it is the K27. These are 17-inch rims and am VERY happy with them.

    Also of note, with the Kinesis you can get amazing looking and well-made ENAMEL center caps and stop using the crap OEM plastic ones that crack and fade.
