    I am looking to put aftermarket wheels on a F355B and really like the HRE wheels, particulaly the 547. If anyone has pictures or opinions, I would appreciate it.

    Also, what size do you recommend 18's or 19's. I assume the 19's would give a harsher ride but would like some feedbac.

    Do 18s, 19s will look odd and give you a terrible ride. I have a customer with HRE on his F355 I will try and get a picture.

    Martin Graham purchased a set of 547R's from us last year He made a post on the F355 forums. I'll look for the thread later and post it for you.

    1 turbo that looks real nice. Are those rims chrome or just polished aluminum. I think I would go with brushes or polished but not necessarily chromed.

    HRE does not offer a chrome finish, they are a high polish.

    I think they look really good on the car. Do you think its worth the 5k to change them, I know the oems look really good as well. At this point i am torn on what to do.

    I wish I could take credit as the prior owner did the change on my car. I have changed the wheel / tire packages on just about every car I have owned. It is personal preference. I prefer an after market look.

    But take yourself out of your garage for a second. It's a Ferrari! Stock rims are pretty sweet too.

    What I might do is buy the HRE with tires and trade off between the oem and the HRE. They say variety is the spice of life. Like I said, the HRE look really hot, but I am having a hard time pulling the trigger.

    Agreed. Custom wheels can be nice, but no chrome for the love of god.

    The brushed ones look really nice. But the stockers are tough to beat.

    355 has one of the best looking OEM wheel designs ever. And they are made of magnesium. So why mess with perfection. Now if you have a 550 and want to make a change, that's a different story.
