    Barchetta wheels are the same modular wheels that were optional on 550's. It shouldn't be a problem throwing a set on. Our 550 has them-- they look great... "if you have the means, I highly recmomend it"... haha :)!

    Depends on your use....IMO........the 3 piece are a little more fragile then the one piece casting......

    So if you drive real world, bending one of those modular wheels will be pricey.....

    I had just this discussion with a new 550 owner just last night!
    I told him to snag a set and mount his Goodyear track slicks on them...

    You have the 3 piece on your car, Darth550?

    I put about 6K on my 550 with them and also had modulars on my 575 w/5K and no problems. I have heard of some air leaking issues but never experienced it.

    thanks for all your input. Are the 3 piece modulars 18" or 19" from the factory? TIA!

    The 550 modulars are 18" and the 575 modulars are 19". And yes, the 575 wheel will bolt right on the 550.

    That looks great! I was surprised I didn't see you around during the warmer months!
