    Hey guys,

    There was a post here of favorite Lambo pics, and one of the pics was of an old Diablo (flip up headlight model), with no spoiler and a set of Murci wheels. (it came from swisscarsightings.com).

    I thaught the car looked absolutely slick, and wondered if anyone else out there would have any pics they'd be willing to share of older Diablos with

    6.0 Wheels on them
    Murci Wheels on them
    Gallardo Wheels on them (I dont know if these would actually fit?)

    Cheers

    I had been wondering this for months now, that is there a 6.0 out there with Murcielago Roadster rims? That black one is as good as it gets! Hands down!!

    Oh My God! Where is that place? I have to agree on older Diablo with Murci rims looks fantastic. Did you guys check out all the hi-res pics on that site? Funny how you you look at all those Lambos then the Fezza 348 and 360 at the end just look kinda dull don't you think?

    I saw a Mk5 VW Golf with a set of Gallardo front rims and that looked amazing too. Have been trying to get hold of a set for my A3.

    One last thing, how did these cars get the rims retrofitted? Are they the exact same ones on the Murcielago Coupes and Roadsters - meaning you simply order them and it's a simple switch and go, or is there something else required to be done in order to put these rims on?

    Great pics. Wish there was a town with only cars like that as the only legal things to drive. Too cool.

    Add me to the list. That looks fantastic!

    Thanks for the hig-res pics. These just confirmed that the Diablo still holds the candle as my all time favorite Lamborghini/car from a styling perspective.

    I'll 3rd that.

    The '02 rims on the orange one, in the link, look badass. Black centers with the lip painted body color. Suweet!

    I think its funny how the only 3 that we have found with murci rims were all at the same place, probably at the same time.
    Theres gotta be some more out there. This looks to good to be only a swiss thing.

    I think Americans prefer after market wheels and the idea of new wheels on older Lambo’s is still a new concept. Hopefully this idea will catch on because I love the look.

    thats funny. with all the guys upgrading to the roadster rims, you'd think there were some murci rims kickin around waiting for something like this.

    If I had a Diablo, I'd be looking for Murci rims for sure.

    Ask and you shall receive! Just listed a Murci Wheels and Tire package today due to upgrading the set. I even used a few of these photots in the listing.

    Does any one know if the Murci rims fits a early Diablo 91-93 (not VT)?
    Is it the same bolt pattern and offset and what is the bolt pattern and offset on a early Diablo??
