    Bob,

    Nice wheels! I always like the 575R on F355. I really need to see it in person now! Hope we will meet up this summer!

    I think they're 545R's.

    They look beautiful. I can't believe you could get such a wide tire back there without rubbing issues. Very nice!

    Using Michelin Pilot Sport. Great gripe, very nuetral handling ,and helps in braking because I have the F40 front brakes and the bigger tire takes advantage of the increased braking.
    Car had been lowered quite a bit but driving on the street is very comfortable .Car tracks well even on uneven roads.

    I prefer the stock wheels.

    Forgot to answer part of your question. The larger front and rear tires are much better in my opinion than the stock tire and wheel setup. Handling is more neutral and less tendency for oversteer. I don't think you give up anything as far as quality of ride.

    Have you tried the new setup at high speed yet? If so, is there a change in directional stability? Thanks.

    Agreed, I don't think the color choice of wheels looks right on a red/tan car. Would probably look really good on a black or silver car though.

    Have had this setup at 130mph and very stable. The car is lowered so does not have the lift it did at speed and has a little more caster than stock so at speed very stable.
