Hello,

I have recently bought myself a Ferrari 355 GTS and upon changing the tyres this week discovered one of my rear wheels is damaged quite badly on the inner edge and cracked.

Does anyone have a spare rear wheel for sale or know where to find one? I can see a few front alloys on eBay at circa £500 but no rear ones.

I presume these wheels can't be repaired?!?

Any assistance is much appreciated,

Thanks!

First Aid Wheels in West Hampstead charged me very little to repair a broken alloy wheel

Few things to note....they come in 2 colours - a dull silver and a bright silver so make sure you know which one.

There is a rubber gasket on the inside of the hub - don't throw it away - its worth a fortune!!!!

They are actually made of magnesium so make sure anyone doing a repair is experienced in doing that.

There are replicas about - nothing wrong with them but they are alloy and heavier so buy in pairs if going down that route.

If not already I'd join clubscuderia.co.uk and ask on there - sure there will be someone on there whose got some lying about! :-)

Part# is 166476

I have a friend (in SW Scotland) who has a fully refurbished 355 rear wheel which he could be persuaded to part with.
Happy to put you in touch but unsure how to contact you directly?

Hello

I have a rear F355 wheel for sale, slight damage on edge of rim (repairable). I have too many car bits cluttering my room and house, also I have a front with original Pirelli tyre on it that has not seen the road once.

PM me if interested?

I’m resurrecting this thread as I’m in need of a rear wheel now too. My car’s in for a service and after removing the rear tyres to replace them, a suspected crack on one wheel has proved to be one of several cracks and not repairable.
Anyone have one lying around?!

There's one on ebay from a recognised breaker (used them myself).

Eurospares sell them refurbished too but obviously more expensive

The advantage of the rerfurbished one is that being magneseum they are a complete pain to get repaired/refinished properly.
