    Ladies, please remember that you can swap the rims in 18 seconds flat. I have the typ, woefully undersized 17’s in my basement. Like changing jewelry...it ain’t a permanent decision. Mine is the Grigio Ingrid Taz posted above, originally loaded by Jagbuff. And love the look but can go back easily. Just like the bespoke straight pipes I also have loaded. But then I’m also not a purist.

    Like Laserguru - I have HRE 18 inch modulars (15mm spacers, hills engineering studs,on rear and front standard with HRE studs) and keep the factory 17 inch and studs for authenticity. Its not everyones taste but I rather like them. Interestingly they came from a forum member that converted his 550 back to standard and sold me these. The body color (Silver) world well with these

    I think the 575 wheels are a good balance between upgrading the standard 17" look and going to the "look at me" wilder looking aftermarket
    wheels. Having said that the Novitec are definitely the badass look overall !

    Love the NF2s, have 575 wheels on mine. I couldn't find tires for the OE 17s here. I have added mild drop since this pic, and I think, as Taz wrote, that it really updates the look of the car. A lot of people are surprised to hear that it's a '95.

    That said, I agree that it is difficult to find wheels that suit the 90s aesthetic of the car without looking gaudy.

    NF2s and regular 575 wheels both look nice, but my vote goes to the 550 wheels - one of the easiest wheels to clean of any car I have ever owned.:)

    Highly prefer the original ones... for me they are a part of the overall design... the astonishing lines of the car deserve all the attention they can get... it’s a pity that most of the non-original wheels draw primary attention.

    Indeed, yet tires in the original sizes are getting harder and harder to procure.

    these wheels are the perfect balance - totally looks like a current model.

    My old NF2s are on one 456M and my 18" 575M wheels are on another one, so I have contributed to the 456/456M world. Good news is neither option is particularly expensive. Usually around $4000 for a set of four. At least in the good old days.
