go large.............turn it into wall paper!
Ha- It’s already gone from there, lasted long enough to take the photo!
Wheels are all done and Painted in OEM Ferrari Cromo Grigio Corsa Metallic ! Really do look nice with New Ferrari Centre caps and Michelin Pilot Sport 4s all-round. Just waiting for the hardware to turn up and then they will be good to go!

lovely - and tyres look low profile there!
The adapters that are being made from TI, the tolerances are with 0.5 mm for all 5 threads to go through the wheels, which has turned out to be virtually impossible to manufacturer and get perfect and they are now being changed to accept bolts rather than nuts! Its complicated!
Both front and rear are 30 profile, grip should be awesome but I must avoid potholes at all costs!!

yeah, big gaps between spokes, must be easy to damage....but look so 🔥
They are on, I am not sure, and I would like to know your thoughts, I got all the offsets right as they sit perfect and flush, I think its made it newer, but not sure if its lost a bit of its charm!
What do you think guys....??

I’m not sure Boba.
I’m loving your commitment to OEM but not sure about the newer look.
I’ll probably be in the minority in saying I prefer the original look, or go completely aftermarket but the newer model wheels on an older model car thing doesn’t work for me.
And let’s put it in perspective too: it’s a gorgeous red Ferrari with cream leathers; it’s always going to look stunning whichever wheel you opt for!

I like them but contrary to my opinions on my own car, I think black would look amazing on yours.

Black wheels could end up making the cream leathers look out of place. They scream more rich and luxurious than mean and menacing.
However, it’s all down to personal taste.
I know exactly what you mean, that's why I have not done the other side yet! There is nothing wrong with the standard wheels they do look good and suit the car, but the more I look at them the more I like them
I am not sure on black, you could be right, however, I have not got my head round whether I like these or not yet!! I'll get the other side done and then go take some pictures and decide!
Thanks, I don't think I can put the others back on now, in the metal they are awesome!
