    New ones not bad but originals win IMO. 17’s may be better.

    Awesome thread. I bought my Testarossa sight unseen in 2006 off eBay! Still have it and love it more every year. Enjoy it. My advice, resist the urge to mod it to make it drive more like a modern car. I had the same feelings about the steering brakes, etc for a year or two back then. I even put 512TR wheels on mine, having since gone back to the stock wheels. The longer you own the car, the more you will want the experience to be exactly as it was when it left the factory.

    Yeah, after the wheels/tires and tint, I'm fine for now. Getting used to the lack of power steering, I've figured out the amount of inertia needed to lighten it up for a one-handed turning motion.
