My brain is a wheel encyclopedia.
Well you know the old adage - "don't ask if you don't want to know" So IMHO they are all terrible - Especially the ones at the top. The yellow car with the black wheels is the only one that looks even halfway decent - the rest are pure ghetto. Cheers
Brixton forged has some very appropriate (imo) wheels, available in 18" and up. They have coffin spokes in the PF4 and some twisted star wheels (ala 512m) in the PF6. As they're available in 18" and 19", could be done without looking like a hotwheels. They're pricey but I think the PF6's in 18" would look awesome on a 348. If you're a real baller you can go with the PF2 carbon+, which are open coffin spokes in CF.
Paying that much for a wheel, especially a replica, is ludicrous and unnecessary. But if you love marketing and hate money…
That statement could be said about any luxury good, including (maybe especially) Ferraris. They're not replicating any wheel I've seen, inspired by maybe. Amusing to see a statement like that on a Ferrari board.
Luxury = aftermarket, pedestrian = oem. That's it. Luxury (ie aftermarket) can range in price from $100 a wheel to $10k a wheel, but they're all unnecessary as all cars come with OEM wheels...
Right, sure, so why pay $3000 for something that you can get for $750 unless, as I said, you love marketing or hate money? I’m not sure why you’re picking an argument with me.
Just struck me as extremely amusing somebody complaining about the cost of a luxury good on a Ferrari site - especially when said luxury good costs less than OEM version of the wheels....I'd never bother with them tbh, but I think they look good (which seems to be the main concern in this thread). https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/233330/ferrari/300465/20-rear-wheel.html
You’ve posted a completely irrelevant link to a car we’re not discussing; I feel thoroughly defeated. You win.
That is the Ferrari version of the wheel I posted - coffin spoke (knock off?) in 20". It's more expensive than the overpriced brixton forged version. So would you go with the Ferrari wheel or the Brixton Forged wheel? I personally feel the Brixton forged is better looking as it has wider spokes, and it's cheaper. I have speedlines on my 355, so not really in the market, but I think both posts are relevant to the thread especially as there were questions about coffin spoke wheels earlier. The most irrelevant post seems to be the one complaining about the cost, but that's just me. Edit: fwiw, I agree, they're both stupidly expensive, but so is everything else Ferrari or Ferrari related. Goes with the territory.
I would have Dan at Augment design me some for $4500 cad. It’s all the same. HRE, etc etc… it’s all exactly the same. The price difference is marketing. Sure, you can have badly designed wheels that breaks, but they’re all using the same raw materials.

I recently had a set of (3-piece) wheels manufactured for my sedan. I went from 20" to 19" and the ride is just so much better now. Even in a 5,000 pound car, you can feel the lighter rotational inertia of the new wheels.
OCKlasse and Philipnz are just two, not plenty. While there are a handful that are balls-to-the-wall hilariously bad, there are a few that look "less clownish", but most are.......... ummmm......... "special". Different strokes and all, but I'm glad that I'm not in that latter group.
The 355 depreciated during the peek of the your-tire-sidewall-thickness-is-inversely-proportionate-to-your-dick-thickness era of car tuning — something I think we’re just now moving away from — which I think explains many of these cars. Guys my age — late 40s - who appreciated these cars when new . but probably couldn’t have afforded, are also starting to appreciate suspension travel and a little sidewall. When I see these 355s on huge mid-2000s wheels I think they look dated. More dated than a stock car, even The “stanced” cars in this thread are a whole different brand of mentally-challenged which I’m too old to understand.
