Hi,I think your old wheels suit the car far better! If you are selling them then let me know?

I much prefer the old ones. I think the anthrice colour goes better with the ink black.

Look closer, there is bit of a running theme wink

More re-sellable with plain black, i'm still in two minds. If i keep them they may end up inky, never crossed my mind, good idea though thumb

you should let me wrap the yellow centres in black carbon and give them a coat of lacquer to give them a shine thumb

Mille Miglia Spider. Rare as rocking horse poop in 4x98 17" i've been looking for a new set for the past three years, my old ones have cracks around the bolt holes and are no longer safe.

I think the colour choice of the new ones is pretty good for your car and they do quite suit.

When I first heard of the new wheels I was thinking of the standard red centers and was thinking no. But the way you've had them done is pretty much spot on.

Look forward to seeing them in the flesh.

Really like the Ferrari Momo's you have on the car. The old ones looked a little aftermarket for me.



Coopless!

The standard centre colour is silver like mine.

I think they did come in red too, I got two sets one was red and looked original and the other set were silver but underneath they were red.

Why not plastidip the center? Just peel it off should you sell them on.

I've never really been a fan of those wheels but they have really set your car off !

Looks as if it could have left the factory looking that good smile
