    Much better roy. I never wanted to tell you, but that white muci looked extremely ugly with those blacked wheels. It wasn't just working out. I love what you did with it now. The blue looks really good with blacked out wheels too.

    white car looks GREAT

    the LP640 needs a chrome (or something to break it up) lip on those black rims to give it any justice in my opinion

    The roadster looks better, but I agree, the coupe needs something to delineate the wheel from the tire, something for the eye to find.

    The roadster has been perfected with those wheels, but the LP's look like black holes. It needs some colour, be it a polished lip (not that there is much lip on the Hermera wheels). Not feeling the LP, sorry.

    hre 547's chrome lip, painted centers would be better, but I'm a child of the 80's so 3 piece design is my thing.

    Roy I know your big on the OEM but I have to say I loved the Roadster when you had the aftermarket rims on it. But the LP looks amazing now

    I have said it in other places and I will say it again...I dislike the LP wheels. Didn't like them on the Roadster and I don't like em on the LP. I wish you had black roadster wheels on both. Don't mind the Anthracite looking wheels on the Roadster now though.

    Just my $.02. Love both cars.

    The Roadster looks MUCH MUCH better, I never could stand those black wheels on it.

    I thought the LP640 was perfect as it was before, I don't like those black wheels on it at all.

    Roy, is that Nick Cage's roadster that you had the big ordeal over in Houston. Nice, the LP looks complete.

    if that was my personal car i would just have those rims painted. like i said it just needs to be broken up alittle. the car is too dark for such dark rims. the only color that would look even remotely good on is black and they would still need a polished/painted lip. i mean i know whats going on but i remember people at the car show were saying "thats so nice, its a shame they skimped out on the rims" and "why arent there any hubcaps on that lamborghini?" like i said i know whats up, and thats all that really matters, but it is pretty universal that an all black rim definately takes away from the car. to each his own, but (not counting anyone on this board) i havent seen anybody at all that said they liked those rims all blacked out.

    i was thinking about how when i first saw those LP rims i said to the guy at the dealership that they should be just the "spinning"-looking spoke only. the dont need the straight spoke next to it. i mean then they would have the idea of the porsche rims but they do look different. a friend of mine had a set of HRE's that had that "spinning" skinny spokes and i loved them. i will try and get a pic to show you them.
