    Note that this thread is in the "not model specific" section.

    What's the DEAL with CHALLENGE WHEELS on EVERYTHING?? It's really getting annoying. Slapping CS wheels on everything is stealing from the exclusivity of the limited run CS. The 430 and 360 look enough alike already, why do you have to throw CS rims on them? The stockers look great!

    The wheel might look good on the car, but how about some difference between models. The wheel is a major part in the aesthetics of the car and having cloned wheels from other cars distract from the overall PACKAGE that the wheels are included in.

    Just my gripe...

    I think CS wheels look great, If i had a 360 I would consider it.
    Hell I would love to have a CS period, one of my favs.
    If you want to grip, How about all those stupid Heavy chrome 20" bling bling wheels people put on ferrari's that degrade performance instead of increasing performance like a CS wheel. Boy thats my grip, I hate heavy chrome bling, give me BBS anyday.

    You're absolutely right on the gripe. I just ordered them on my 599 and they will look great.

    Freedom of choice. Even in Russia you can now get proper fitting shoes and freely buy bread, milk and butter. My G-d, what is the world coming to! ;)

    bah, sure they're lightweight and pretty. But to me, it's like hearing a great song too many times... Isn't there another design out there fitting for a Ferrari? Can't they design a different wheel with similar qualities to help give a car some identity?

    ps I hate bling bling chrome 20s

    In the old days, we'd wear out an LP or cassette from playing the same song over and over and over. Freedom of choice! If I want to play Barry Manilow's Copacabana 35 times in a row (as it is a masterpiece of musical arrangement) why shouldn't I? If I want to put CS wheels (as they are a masterpiece of design), why shouldn't I?
