    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Got new wheels for my 488 Spider (Bianco Fuji) I had the standard wheels in the optional dark chrome and moved into the forged diamond. Here is a comparison. He car actually feels a bit different to drive but not sure if it’s in my head or it it’s real as I’m not a wheel afficianato but I’m sure there are folks here that are in the know.

    I like the standard wheels more agressive looking !
    But it looks good with any

    I like the diamond wheels as well. It complements the classy look of the bianco fuji. But i think the design standard wheels in diamond forged would look even better.

    I think the color of the diamond wheels works better with the paint color (which I love).

    That photo the standards do look great IMO. In person really no comparison how much nicer the forged look.

    Agree. The only thing I could come up with is they are lighter but not sure if so or by how much. I’m guessing it’s in my head too. Thanks.

    Looks great David, glad it worked out for you. I will do a weight comparison thread this week between the standard wheels and the forged wheels. By the way if anybody else needs a set of the forged diamond finish wheels, I have another set avail. Also David, can you perhaps email me large file or original file photos of your before and after shots for my website, with your permission of course. Thanks and cheers!

    Do you by any chance might have update on the weight of the wheels and do you have any more of black or gold ones?

    They look awesome on the Bianco - a big improvement over the base silvers imo. Maybe black the sills now.

    I don't sorry. All of a sudden we do not have any of the forged sets. I do have a silver set incoming and a couple black sets. So will weigh them then.

    The forged wheels are preferable in terms weight and IMO appearance!
