    Nope, those look like the stock 512TR rims... same style as 355 though.

    Beautiful machine. Congratulations.

    I was up at WWoC the other day with my wife to test drive a 456. As we were waiting for the salesman, my wife looked at their red/tan '93 512 and said, "Wow! What is THIS?" I have to say, that was quite an unexpected reaction from someone who usually thinks that (1) a car with fewer than 4 seats is missing something and (2) F-cars in general are too flashy. So that's the definition of sex on wheels: hormones > brains. And who knows? If we don't get the 456 we might go for the 512 after all.

    I love Ferrariland. Everyone so kurayzee. :)

    Congrats again, many happy hours and miles.

    Congrats...I want one! If I could only afford it...and the maintenance. My 308 keeps me in check.

    Enjoy it and drive safely...fast, but safely.

    prova4re - I got the car so you would stop your *****ing about the race seats in the Porsche. We will have fun on some rallies next year!!! By the way, has your back healed yet from all the twisting and turning filming Players Run???

    Yes, they are stock 512TR rims. Thanks everyone for the rave reviews on the purchase. I look forward to getting a chance to really drive it hard. It has also been a pleasure meeting people on this board.

    That is one of the reasons I had to have a 512TR - pure art on wheels.
