Quite a few have replaced them with SP12's and also Jade R's. How do they look? IMHO not as good as the original spiders. The Tuscan is a very hard car to get aftermarket wheels to look right on. I suppose its down to the fact that there is not a single straight line, edge, corner or crease on the bodywork. Not many wheels these days have an "organic" appearance which is what suits the Tuscan best.

Any body found any strong light and cheap rims, was thinking of getting a set for track days
looks not to important, but still need good airflow/ brake cooling

Quite like that diffuser/undertray at the back. Where did you get that from or was it a one off?

yes i previously had 255 all round and now have 235 front and 265 rear the car tracks much better and is a lot less nervous under heavy braking and i must have had my spiders balanced three times in six months
