    Wheels are 18X8 front and 19x10 rear - tires will be 225/40/18 front and 265/35/19 rear, Leaning towards Advan AD08

    Car is Grigio - I might refinish the centers to silver...

    Not too bad, maybe replace the centers with a Ferrari cap, if it will fit. What color is your interior? Bordeaux?

    A yellow Ferraro center cap would be the perfect touch IHMO. They look good with that color scheme.

    IMHO, HRE, OZ and Speedline make the best wheels out there. Very nice. Instead of the typical yellow Ferrari center cap, how about the titanium center caps (expensive, but they would look great with your exterior car color).

    I have ordered a couple different sets of OZ caps in different styles/colors - we will see how they look.

    I'm normally not a big fan of black wheels, but you have a great color combo here. Beautiful!

    Originally I got the wheels because they were a great deal and the thing is, they were in inventory as silver - I was REALLY disappointed when they arrived and they were black -

    I still think that at one point I will refinish the centers in silver.

    I've actually never seen a grigio 355 with the bordeaux interior. While I do love red exterior with tan interior, this is probably my favorite color combo for any car, let alone Ferraris. Very nice car and the rims make for a truly incredible color combo

    Yes, I really like the Grigio/Bordeaux. The only part I am going to change is the boot cover for the soft top, I am going to change it to black.

    I will see if the wheel color grows on me.
