    If anyone's worried about ABS going out of design spec due to larger mechanical grip afforded by wider tyres and taller overall wheel diameter I am exploring how to compensate for this with reflashing. I run 305's at the back and 245's at front on F430 Challenge centerlock racing wheels so right now its pretty silly in anything but race mode. I'll keep you guys posted but i am sure I can do it...

    I love what you've done here. Gone direct to manufacturers and done it well. I'd love to see others do more projects like this!

    I'm late to the thread. PM sent. What I'm a bit unclear about is the final specs - size, offset, actual weights, and what tire sizes to use if I want to use MPSC2s.

    Hi, so these were a one time manufacturing run?

    Why not make a business out of it? If you get enough people re-ordering them, would you make them again?

    I'd be interested in a set of gold ones for a black 360...I think it's a unique look.

    After my initial shipping quote had "expired" I had spent several sleepless nights to find another fast and economic way to ship our wheels to the US. These two objectives are usually mutually exclusive. Everybody who bought a set of Challenge Wheels received a PayPal request for their shipping charges. Charges are based on your Zip code.

    My logistics company delivered the wheels to the airline yesterday. I have do not have the arrival date at this time.

    For others who want a set of these Challenge Wheels the price has to be cost adjusted to $3,250.

    The air shipment came into LAX yesterday.

    I spent six hours at the airport to pick up all the packages.

    This was an experience I will not forget. Six hours with truckers and between semi trucks. Diesel exhaust everywhere. Total unorganized mayhem.

    Wheels have gone out with UPS to all US addresses.

    I PMed everybody their tracking numbers.

    My wheels will go on the car tomorrow and I'll post some pictures.

    I got silver sets left.

    Stay away from Pirelli tires when possible.

    I use Michelins.

    Best deal are Toyo Proxes. They are very good for the money. I use them on BMWs.
