    Wow... what has happened to the world when the ever-perfect Swiss (Ticino, I beleive) allow this to occur?

    What a way to soil a perfectly gorgeous country.

    Yep, agreed....

    Looks f-ulgy.
    In geneva there is one guy with a white H2 and 22" or (26" whatever) chromed wheels (remember already as a kid these were looking bad on your hot wheels), with spinners, and i thought that was already the worse Switzerland could ever see....

    Fortunately it's just the wheels, no permanent damage is done. I just can't get over the juxtaposition--- such a beautiful and elegant car, with such tacky bling.

    I wonder if the spinners could handle 150+mph??? Hopefully they don't fly off and kill someone....

    Good point!

    Probably not. My guess is that the person stupid enough to put those on a 550B would neither realize nor care.

    Ohhhhhhhh what an IDIOT! If there is one style rim that I hate, it's spinners. Why didn't he go all the way and put some Dub Fo's (24") on it, airbag it and have it sitting on the frame while it was parked. It's missing a huge wing too, one yeah some neon lights, and the big coffee can exhaust. Sooooooo getto.

    When I look at that car it occurs to me that someone with a lot of money is enjoying a good joke. The spinners are so NOT the 550B that its almost cool and could just be some guys way of having fun.
    I hope someday, impractical or not, to own one of those. Every time I see one it thrills me.

    Someone find out the owner and shoot him in the head.

    I just threw up in my mouth!

    I hate spinners to no end! People all over Dallas put them on their cars, trucks....

    The person responsible for this should be stood in front of firing squad!


    What's next....Hydrolics?

    Let's not give the getto a bad name, even the uneducated know better than to mess with perfection. It would be like drawing a smile on the Mona Lisa, no one that could afford the painting should be capable of that. It is most likely that the driver of this car does however have a full set of gold teeth.

    Ignorance is bliss and in this case, you really are better off not knowing.

    That person does not deserve to own a Ferrari. If I were Ferrari, I would have someone repo that car.
