    Whichever ones you prefer. Strictly a matter of taste for the 18" wheels. Plenty of photos of both on here if you do a search. At one point you could find 550 wheels for very low prices for new sets. Not so much now.

    575 in my mind. The 550 ones are a bit too 90s, a bit too bland.

    I have always been partial to 575 wheels. I even ran a set on my former 328!

    Have a set of 575 wheels I might be willing to let go. Bought a set of the replicate Modulars to put on my 575. Haven't decided whether to keep the factory wheels or let them go.

    I’m in the same boat of looking. I like the 575 a little more but then I tend to like NF2 and the other multi piece even more when I see them.

    Love it! I have those exact same Hamann PG3s on my 550. I agree they're one of the best looking aftermarket wheels for these cars. Rock on!

    Personal choice obviously. For me the 456 is smooth, flowing, elegant, restrained. Therefore, the wheels (shoes) should complement the body shape, lines and scale which can be easily overpowered by more masculine or highly detailed/exaggerated wheels. Either the 550 or 575 would fit the bill but the 550 wheels with simpler smoother lines would work with he 456 better in my opinion.

    What tires are you running in the front? The 7.5in wide wheel doesnt leave room for many options (235 is borderline spec)

    Thank you! I had a set of 19" challenge wheels I was going to try also but they were worth too much to keep, I sold those.
