    Your car looks great! but I would but the stock beauties back on their! The stock 355 wheels are so nice the only thing I would change them for would be the Speedline wheels! Chrome is not my thing when it comes to wheels, honestly I think they contrast too harshly with the delicate body work!

    +1 also, IMHO, they don't at all have a Ferrari vibe. Maybe it's the spokes.............

    Cheers, Hank

    I think the wheel style is ok....kinda 430ish. But as for them being chrome I'm not too sure. Chrome belongs on Bentleys and Rollers owned by overpaid under talented rap musicians. That being said, it's YOUR car and you need to go with what makes you happy. As long as you have the original wheels you can swap them around as your mood dictates.

    Cheers....

    Love the car- but the wheels don't quite do it for me. I'm not opposed to after market wheels (I often believe they look better than stock), but chrome wheels, specifically the ones on your 355, don't quite fit.

    Kudos to customizing YOUR car and doing what YOU want though. Ultimately, that's all that matters!

    They look very cheap if you want my honest opinion. There are many good aftermarket wheels for Ferrari that are polished or chrome, but these in my opinion are not one of them.

    Then again, it's your money and your happiness.

    Where are those plates from?
    Who makes those wheels?
    When did you get the 355 it looks super clean?

    Put the stock ones back on.

    On the F355, the best looking wheels are the stock ones IMHO.

    Alot of people have tried alot of wheels on the F355, but the stockers always come up looking the best.

    I actually like those. I thought you were going to post some horrible pix of a blinged out 355, but these wheels are tasteful. Keep 'em.

    I agree...and, with what Steve in Vegas said..

    It's your car, and if YOU like them, keep them...

    I think the design of the wheels is appropriate for the car...

    +1, I agree, not a fan of chrome and aftermarket wheels on Ferraris look cheap, why mess with perfection, other than changing out wheels on a 348 to 355 or 360 wheels, my vote is to leave the wheels on the cars as Ferrari designed them.

    Stockers or something less generic looking would be my vote, but it's your car...

    They look fine. The real question here should be does the owner like them? That is all that matters, personally I would have gone up an inch and used 19's, that is what is fitted to my car and I think they make the world of difference to look, aftermarket wheels have a way of brining out the design lines in a car. If you like them, that’s all that matters.

    I don't like them..

    Appears they are the wrong size (to my eye).
    They don't flow with the car.
    And the car is gorgeous....

    Get rid of 'em :D

    The car has no other chrome accents (other than the prancing horse), so they look way out of place to me.
