    Not feeling it. I don't know what it is but most Ferrari owners can't seem to get aftermarket (or OEM+) wheel fitments right.

    One thing those wheels do show is how teeny the brakes look compared to the wheels. Especially since they are not that small at 309/310 mm (~12.2"), but teeny compared to the 398 mm (~15.7") rotors on a Scud.

    I tried the 360 Modulars on mine, and they looked super cool from the side, but the rear offset was just a little too wide for my taste and it looked a little awkward from the rear three-quarter angle.

    TRs have to be the toughest car ever to put non-standard wheels on. 512TR wheels are still my favourite.

    Best,
    Neil

    I don't think they look good at all. Just doesn't match the theme of the car.

    Sorry, don't like it either.

    I agree, I love the 512TR wheels, as well as the 512M wheels.

    Agree that they look to small. I think that the less curvy Fcars have a hard time wearing newer rims. The older cars have very clean cut, sharp edges and the new wheels Ferrari offers are sleek and smooth. Not the best combo but everyone has different tastes.
