    yea they look cool....are those 19's? Did you have any trouble with the front wheels not fitting the hubcentric ring? I put 19's on my 355 spider and have been battling a vibration at 100 to 130 mph. what color are the centers?

    Are those painted white?? That is seriously a good look to compliment the black exterior. Good choice IMO.

    They are actually a very light silver with a bunch of mettalic in the paint. I am on the fence about the color but bolted them up anyways. I may pull them apart and paint them factory silver. The color actually matches the Pina badge. I posted the pic to get some feedback either way.

    Very beautiful! Great choice! I would have preferred them in all white... But in such an elegant car as yours, i think you made the right choice really!

    Mounting went pretty easily. I did clean the hubs free of any dirt or build up and put a light layer of grease on the interior of the wheel center to help it slide on the hub. I have not had the car up to real speeds yet, and probably wont see a hundred more than once or twice.

    BH, they look great, and I would give them some time before thinking about painting them. (driving around a lot this week-end with the top down in this great weather?)

    I am NOT a fan of aftermarket wheels on F-cars, but those look fantastic. If you get tired of them, let me know!
