I would like to add that,
1. The Superformance reproduction wheels (new) will cost roughly half what used OEM QV wheels would cost, and those would be in need refinishing.
2. The Superformance wheels are near perfect copies except for a minor difference in how the face of the rear wheels are offset which most people don't notice and those that do (mostly), don't care. THEY LOOK JUST LIKE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT.
3. The Superformance wheels are perfectly round, have virtually no runout and do not require any special considerations to balance.
4. The Superformance wheels with tires mounted weigh between 2 and 3 pounds more (each) than OEM alloys and tires.
5. The finish on the Superformance wheels is beautiful, except when the edges get dinged during shipping. Inspect carefully as soon as you get them!
5. I have a set on my 308 and they run smooth and true with no vibration through all speed ranges.
6. You can buy and install new series one 328 wheels from FerrariUK for less but you have to machine the hubs on the front wheels to fit over the dust cap or machine a new dust cap and then provide a method to mount the plastic cavallino centerpiece. They are not OEM style wheels for a QV.
I am using Yokohama AVS ES100 tires. Good to 168 MPH.. Less than 100.00 USD each from
www.tirerack.com.
The size I am using on the front is 225/50-16 and the size on the rear is 245/45-16. No rubbing or interference.
Stock sizes would be 205/50-16 front and the rear
225/50-16.
The handling of my old '78 308 improved immensely with these new technology tires. It's like a whole new car.
