    Great idea and they look good. Pretty common offsets on many of the 114.3 mm wheels.

    There was a member here based in Taiwan who used to play mix and match with his 612 all the time and he did share a lot of combos and I always felt like the challenge wheels suited the 612 best but this looks surprisingly good!

    I like it a lot, well done sir :)

    @Ferrari_Frank that grille is a Ferrari grille. Anodized grille that was an option for the Sessantas I believe.

    I would guess it's the standard grille but the once black plastic has been affected by time and is now gone grey.. Mine did the same thing and i put quite some work into trying to make it a bit blacker again with polish

    I have never driven my 612 on snow, but always thought it must be very dangerous as it is rear wheel drive.

    Not at all. You just need the the right tires for the conditions.

    I've drive more Rear Wheel Drive Cars in Winter than FWD or AWD.
    I gave my Mustang to my Son as his 1st Car, first time he had a Rental Front Wheel Drive in Winter he couldn't stand it...
    I think having the Driving Force on the Wheels used to Steer is just wonky in Snow.
    If you know how to handle fishtailing it becomes quite easy.
    My 612 I have a 2nd set of wheels with Winter Tires, so it's even easier.

    Bill, Are you saying that if I get winter wheels I could go skiing with my 612? with snow in the road? I have a Range Rover and I’m going with it.

    I have been skiing in la clusaz with mine…blizzard no but normal alps roads in winter yes. Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires are what you need.

    A Range Rover is a more appropriate choice but I don’t have one!
