    I have the ball polished challenge rims on my 599 and I love the look. Funny thing is I saw another nero daytona like mine with star rims yesterday. As it was pulling away I was quite suprised how good they looked on the car when it was in motion. I think the darker paint colors works best with star wheels. While the challenge rims look good on all the colors, all of the time.

    It amazes me how much better the new wheels look. I just changed by center caps to scuderia titanium and spared myself 8k

    Really like the color of your car, I think I told you there was one like it in final prep at factory when my car was there. Grig Nuvolari, right?
    Monolithics look great. I'm biased, I have them. I don't like staggered diameter wheels (19/20" Satan's), and they don't seem particularly stout/brutal looking.
    Nice.

    I think your car looks so much better with the Challenge wheels, but then I'm just biased against the Pentagram ones in general.
