    I will admit I am not a big fan of 19's on the 355, I am old school that way. You have bigger brakes? I'd like them even less with the OEM brakes. It's a pretty good looking wheel though.

    My second attempt at photo shop... calipers are wrong but it gives a good idea what the wheels would look like.

    I'm leaning towards these. :)

    Are they the right bolt pattern and offset?

    Yep custom offsets and bolt patterns.
    Wheels take 5-7 weeks to get after ordering.

    Fine on the Lambo, don't look right on the Ferrari - too big and out of proportion.

    I think my ratio is a bit off on my attempted photo shop they look more like 22" wheels in that photo.

    Here is another photo shop done in gunmetal. I promise no more after this at least of this wheel... ;)
    I just like to get opinions.

    +1, not a fan, makes the F355 look cheap and proportions are wrong.

    I'd leave them on the Lambo, they just look out of place on the 355. :eek:

    All the best,

    Okay I've decided this isn't the wheel to get...

    Price is very good however the wheel just doesn't spark my fire.

    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    I have to say that looks much better...I like the look now. Gunmetal isn't stark like the black and the proportions seem fine..get that photoshop right before you buy!

    Save a couple of exceptions I prefer standard wheels so I'm coming from a somewhat biased POV.

    Beautiful and timeless design suddenly looks 'used' somehow.

    I like the wheel design, but not the color. Gunmetal is better than black, but still too dark for me. Maybe I'm just too old!

    Erick,
    Keep your original brakes and 18" wheels on your car.
    I know you are tempted to go big. Resist the temptation.
    You won't be sorry, and your wallet will be happier.
    Cheers,
    Marc

    They're nice-looking wheels, but they look like on a modern Lamborghini or modern McLaren. Perhaps they'd look interesting on a 430 or 458 too. My personal view is that they'd fundamentally look out of place on a 355 - they're just not in keeping with the lines of the rest of the car. :eek:

    Then again, if it makes you feel good... do it. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.
