    asking my local dealer about getting after market wheels, he said it could effect my warranty as size weight would change.

    any thoughts and suggestion would be helpful.
    thanks

    The only way you are going to possibly avoid bending wheels would be to go down in size ( 18" if you can find any to clear the brakes) and weight and then you will have more sidewall to cushion the wheel. Other that that anything you do is a waste of money.

    Those HRE's look amazing, but the cost may hurt more if you bend them.

    Bummer -I agree with option 2:
    How are you getting them for $1500?
    The option is $8100 from the dealer for all 4.

    ADV1 but I'm biased. They will be lighter and very high quality. I did 160MPH today and I was glad I had top notch wheels under me.

    A set of the forged 19 inch "star" wheels for the original Cali would look good and make the wheel less prone to damage.
    Forgeline might be able to help you if you really want to try 18's. They have done 18's for 458 and ZR1 track users in the past with their GA1R. I'm sure they can make other wheels from their line work as well.
    Forgeline is on par with HRE in quality.

    I’m in the minority here but I like option 1. Less is more in my opinion. Very clean not fussy look. Look aerodynamic

    I guess I don't understand why you would do something that does not solve the problem you stated you have. Damn you normal people make no sense, no wonder I spend so much time with dogs.

    You can do what you like with your cars, and if you had said I want new wheels I would not even have commented. To me that is personal taste. I am autistic, and when someone presents a problem (in your case bent wheels), which will continue to occur with the changes you made, I see that as not solving the problem. I am sorry, but I don't get humor either so I will assume the green face means the above statement is funny.

    Don't listen to the haters. It's your car and it looks great! Yeah the center cap adaptors are a royal pain! Mine took 6 weeks to arrive.

    The yellow caps will tie in your brakes, or your could do carbon fiber logo'd caps, that would look nice as well. Any plans to lower it slightly?

    Yellow center caps will tie in your yellow brake calipers. They will match.
