575 rims on 550

I own a 550 in Thailand. The car is a fantastic drive with the installed sports exhaust, ecu upgrade and performance brakes. Recently I've also had some of the interior details changed to some custom made carbon fiber pieces, impressive result. Now I'm seriously thinking about the exterior look, with an idea just to change the rims to the 575 specification. Is this possible?, any of you tried?, pictures available?.

Look forward for your response.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for your responses.

The reason behind the change is that I find the original rims on my 550 a bit boring. Being conservative about the external appearance of my car, I thought that the best thing for me would be to get some 575 rims that I find to have more character. One thing that I'm trying to stay away from are rims that have the obvious "boy-racer" look.

So, I've found a set of 575 rims in the UK for around US$ 3,000.

 

I admit HRE rims are nice, and another extreme design would be those by cargraphic that have that "LM" look. All too much for me.

 

Thanks, US$ 3,325 to be precise. I think it's a good deal. If you have pics, it will be much appreciated.

By the way, I've attached herewith a picture of the extreme alternative that I was thinking about, cargraphic's 19" rims.

What do you think?.

Yes, they look like real racing style rims from LM. But like I said, they look too extreme.

 

I must admit, those rims look better than the cargraphic 19" alternative.

 

And I thought things were cheaper in the US.

 

Dan, I agree, that's why I've decided just to get the 575 rims for my car. The Maranello is a gorgeous looking car, doesn't need much else to enhance the looks.

 

The supplier for my 575 18" standard rims was Eurospares, have a look at their website at www.eurospares.co.uk. The rims are already on my car and she looks much better than before with those pronounced features on each of the five spokes. It's actually a shame that a week after I purchased the rims Eurospares, they had in stock a set of 19" Modular rims, priced much lower than the ones from official suppliers, another missed opportunity. By the way, another visual enhancement to my car was done a week ago, it was to spray the cam covers red like those in the 612.

 

Most welcome.
