    Is the offset different or would I need to use spacers?

    I believe the wheels pictured are 18" Challenge wheels.

    Correct. Not Challenge Stradale wheels.

    Aren't stradale wheels much narrower in the front? Stock 456 is 255 and stradale are 225 (235?), considering the weight on the front track with the big V12 I would not go to a narrower tire without expecting a loss of balance...

    Someone jump in if I'm wrong, but I believe that the rims are 8 1/2" front, 10" rear, so that should be the same as the 456. It's the width of the tires that you'd need to move up on.

    The wheels are 9x19" front with a +28mm offset and has a 255/35R19 Pirelli tire. The rears are 12.5x19" +51mm offset and run a 355/25R19 Pirelli tire. Rear spacers are required for the fitment. The total with shipping is going to be right at $10k. The wheels are in stock but the tires take about 2-3 weeks. This price is only good through the end of the month. Novitec, as with many companies right now, are raising prices 5-10% due to the falling dollar. Let me know if we can get a set of these going for you. Thanks.

    Jason's right -- and if Novitec is about to execute a price update because of currency, now would indeed be the time to buy.

    On January 1, 2007, the US Dollar traded at 1.319 to the EURO.
    Today, the US Dollar is trades at 1.41991.

    10% has been whacked out of the game, just on the basis of currencies. In the parts game, that is a huge chunk of the margin. Although we're small potatoes compared to a big multi-national company, we've kept a Euro-denominated account for a few years now. It offsets some of these currency losses, but not enough to stave off price increases forever.
