    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login I am excited to share some photos and impressions of my new Fchat wheels.

    I got them installed today with Michelin PS4S tires, 245/35ZR19 front and 295/30ZR19 rear.

    The wheels appeared to be very well finished, and out of the box they ring like a bell when you tap them with your knuckle. Really loud, like a musical instrument. Maybe all forged wheels do this, but I thought it was cool nonetheless.

    The car now is even more of a delight to drive. It was great before, but this new setup is transformative. Everything on my car is stock except for these wheels and tires. And I have the steel brakes, not the carbon ceramic.

    Now the steering is more responsive, the car is more agile and light feeling, almost like a giant 986 Boxster. But with 500 hp. Really tossable. And the grip is unreal. Still a Ferrari, but just more of everything. The car spins up faster, flicks into corners faster, just makes me giggle. How much is wheel and how much is tire I cannot say, but I am happy.

    I have no connection whatsoever with Oliver, just wanted to share this with someone.

    Thanks! I really feel that these wheels have MADE the car. With the stock wheels and tires, of course I liked the car but there were just a few things I didn’t like, visually and behind the wheel. Now I can say there is really nothing I dislike about the car.

    Now there is visually not a bad angle on the vehicle, and the driving dynamics have been taken to the next level. This is how it should have come from the factory.

    Something about the "silver center caps" that leaves me wanting.

    Wow, really sharp. I am a “stock” enthusiast and almost never like aftermarket wheels (most are too over-the-top), but these look great. What did you have for wheels/tires before that made you notice the upgrade in performance?

    Before I had the stock wheels and Bridgestone tires, replaced in May of last year, right before I got the car.

    You won’t be wanting much longer, I have the prancing horse caps inbound and will posting picks as soon as they’re on!

    Woo-hoo! Really love the ride now, car is so much more stable and drivable.

    Looks great, can't wait to see it with the cavallino caps on!

    I never thought a wheel change would make me fall in love all over again with the car....but they did!

    I have the same set...they make a 20 year old car look pretty good. :)

    I like them - they look good. The different radius on the spokes makes them look more modern than the OEM version.

    Roger,

    Keep the center caps. Your Spider looks awesome.

    What tire sizes did you pick?

    The wheels definitely update the car’s looks. Keep the yellow Cavallino center caps. Nice!

    Thanks Oliver, they have really transformed the car. I went with 245/35ZR19 front and 295/30ZR19 rear.
