Review of Formula Dynamics wheels

Having looked for a long time for "affordable" 19 inch wheels for my 456, I decided to take the plunge and ordered the wheels from Formula Dynamics.

The GOOD: Wheels look solid, greatly improve the car, came with spacers and bolts that fit perfectly and the car looks way better than the OEM 17s. Service was pretty friendly, they always answer the phone and respond to emails, were always helpful and they have discount sales so the price I paid was 1900$

The BAD: Wheels were ready almost a month later than their 4-6 week delivery promise and that caused me some headaches and they did not compensate me further which I was not looking for but I usually offer my clients when my company experiences a setback for the client. The center holes are too big and won't fit the oem yellow Ferrari centers so you have to use their caps. Finally the biggest disappointment for me is the paint finish: They are described as silver which to me implies there is a shine/pearl to the paint or a metallic type finish but in fact it's just a flat plain grey. Still looks good but the photo on their site looks way different than the actual wheels they deliver.

CONCLUSION: Happy with the purchase, tires cost me 768$ landed at discount tire direct, car looks better and when I get too much curb rash I'll refinish them in a proper silver finish. Center caps still have a prancing horse so I can live with it.

 

Too much work.....I don't mind the center caps too much, I like the silver on black horse and I can live with the FD under but it's the lettering all around that bug me. I'll get used to it I suppose.
