I saw the new HGTE wheels for the first time yesterday. They were on a Grigio Silverstone 599 that I see in my area on occasion. The car originally had Challenge wheels which I never thought 'belonged' on the 599 but the new five spoke HGTE wheels are absolutely perfect. They give the car a whole new look and a more confident stance. Thank you for giving us your impressions on all the aspects of the HGTE kit - now go out and drive!
Ape- Not sure you want to reconsider your choice of monolithics? The HGTE wheels are 1/2" wider at the front for better balance and look pretty nice. Probably too late at this stage, but you never can tell. Taz Terry Phillips
Hey Taz!..... it's a bit late. Just got an email yesterday from the dealer, the car should be on a ship within a couple weeks. Im recovering from right shoulder surgery so I will be brief.....typing with my left hand is a pain in the arse!! I gotta heal quick....the car is coming soon! best, Ape
Ape- Heal fast. Looking forward to some photos. I know how you feel on the wait. My 575M has been in the shop for 5 months waiting for the world's slowest dash recovering. Never would have done that if I had known how long it would take. Taz Terry Phillips
Thanks Taz! The only thing making my recovery bearable is the fact that I cant drive right now if I wanted to! Im healing really well and already have some mobility. I'll be ready when the beast arrives! Ape : )
Maximus, thank you for sharing you impressions. It's great that you're enjoying your beautiful 599. That's great to hear. You must be very excited! I'm sure you'll love it
Thanks for the review of the changes, our local dealer has an HGTE and I have to say the exhaust doesnt sound nearly as nice as the Tubi does, well in my opinion anyway. Wheels look superb though as does the lowered ride height.
