    NO NO NO NO NO, you do not put chrome wheels on a ferrari, keep those for your yank tanks.

    Speed bumps are no problem ... i just take them cautiously & it goes over fine.

    NOS - I sell nitrous kits, so my cost was a bit down on retail, but i'd guess i've spent about £1200 all in - That includes extra parts outside the kit i based it on inc. copper nitrous pipe (due to the heat of the engine plastic or braided pipes burst), digital progressive controller, polished alluminium bottle, nitrous gauge, heat reflective tube to cover the fuel and nitrous lines in the engine bay etc ..
    The nitrous was well worth it - It totally transformed the car, when it kicks in it still takes my breath away ;-)

    Hi Dave.

    Not a great fan of chrome rims, but they suit the car well and if I had to have chrome rims, I wouldn't say no to yours.

    Personally, I think your car shown in your profile with the other wheels looks superb!

    The splitter looks good as well.

    Cheers.

    Pete

    I like your old wheels better but these aren't bad. The nitrous idea is really neat.

    The old 19" ones with the black centres became pitted around the silver rim - Basically the layer of laquer was so thin that each an every little stone chip coupled with the UK weather started off the whole corrosion process. I'm intending to have those restored in a couple of weeks and pop them on during winter to save the chrome ones from going the same way.

    The originals were from Highline Wheels - have a look on Ebay where you'll see them up for sale. Only thing i'd advise if you get some is to spray another coat of laquer on the rim right from the beginning.

    Agreed.

    Probably not a bad idea either with an extra 100 hp available.
    With the NOS on, is there a lot of difference in the how the car sounds?
