I know i shouldnt like these wheels on a ferrari but........

[i remember]

Randomly surfing the net as you do, come across an album from a supercar meet in the u.s. Some nice stuff there, but this caught my eye

Ferrari 512BB




Now i'd normally slate loads of aftermarket wheels, only a rare occasion that i would say they BETTER the look of the car. Now i dont think these better them but then again at the same time they dont look terrible?

I know the sizing is different to the original wheels, and i like the look of the originals




Am i the only one to agree that these are not bad?


Just a couple others from the meet aswell





Then there is the truly atrocious

[soad]

The ones in the first pic do stand out= not sure if that's good or bad thing though.

Blinged out chrome ones are a mess.

[andyscole]

Tooooo big!!

[MrPickle]

The first pic is quite funny, All got the same wheels apart from the end one. Same wheels but 3" larger.

Dont know if I like them on that tbh.. Just a bit too big?


Does the owner have even bigger moustache and hawaiian shirt

Also it's amazing how the discs on that Vette don't need callipers!

[legturbo]

Yes they look terrible and would indicate that not only has the person who put them on the car got no taste, they also have little understanding in the role that tyres play, not only in the handling of a car, but also in ride comfort

That BB looks dreadful...!

^this^

The owner should be taken round the back and beaten repeatedly with a thorny stick


and as for that Vette NOT pretty

To the (modders) For the love of (insert deity here)
Buy a feking car you LIKE the look of
stop buggering up the ones the rest of us love AS THEY ARE


and breathe.

Im confsed by the headlights on the Vette under the bonnet...they're pointing backwards?!?

[W00DY]

They are too big with too little tyre profile. I like the originals best but I imagine something between the two could look pretty awesome.

They are flip up headlights

They dont "flip" 180 degrees though surely? Every car with flip up headlights I've seen have just moved 20-30 degrees upwards but these, with the bonnet down, would be pointing towards the cabin!

They sure do. All the 84-96 Vettes have this headlight arrangement.

A quick google shows that they do indeed flip many degrees!
