Tenney, You've got a point, I think some people may be abruptly introduced to the notion of slip angles. Hubert | ||

The modular is nice but I prefer the clean simplicity of the base wheel. Also, the 19's on the 575 may be deemed "extreme" due to extreme lack of sidewall offering minimal notice prior to a lateral grip-free moment. | ||

They look great - I love the 3 piece factory wheels. On the new 575 the factory options will, for the first time, be 19" ultra wide wheels with different rubber which apparently make the "longtidunial and lateral" grip characteristics more "extreme." (in the words of Ferrari) | ||

I love the way companies do options, you see this in the housing market too, you don't get full credit for what you give up | ||

I am getting yellow with black interior. The 3 piece wheels are a $2900 option. Which seems cheap at first but i am loosing my stock rims which are worth around $3,000. So total they are going to cost me around $5,900. Because if I buy rims later i will still have my old rim and tire package which i end up loosing in this case. | ||

I'm with Hugh, but once again just an opinion. I think when I do switch rims I will either go to the stock 360 rim or to a one piece forget rim, like the ones made by SAC. | ||

Personally, I like the way the OEM 1 piece wheel looks over the 3 piece wheel pictured. Just a personal opinion though. And, as Willis mentioned cleaning the 3 piece wheels will be a chore, I know, I have 2 piece wheels on my car, and its a pain to get them clean. | ||

if you want them you'd better get them before production because afterwards they're $3500 apiece. they look great. just a matter of opinion. btw what color combo are you getting? | ||

I've seen them in person. Like the look but would hate the work involved in cleaning them. | ||

I like them a lot. The stock ones look good too. What is the difference in price for the 3 piece wheels?? Perhaps you can get a set of wacky, 19' speedlines for a similar price from SAC | ||

What is everyone's opinion on the 3-piece modular rims avaliabe from ferrari as an option on a 360. My is car is going into production soon and just wanted to get everyone's opinion on what they think about the how the rims look and if they seem worth the extra $2900.     |
