I have two sets of original wheels for my 3200 so was playing about with one and logo'd it up. (Sorry, sign of boredom and a mis-spent art uni youth)
Now question is before I bother to do all four do they look cool or cack?

And why cant I get the pic to show?

Hurraaar, a piccy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I persevered - and not sure I shoudl ahve done(!) hehe

Personally I'd hope that MAserati stay away from the 'Tommy Hilfigger' style of branding which means you ahve to write the name on everything.

Errr so thats a Cack from me - sorry!

I reckon the red 'Maserati' text on one of the spokes would look really decent

Really not sure about on all the spokes - makes the whole alloy look cheap! - as another post said maybe on just one....... but loose the logo's in the middle.

Now - I have a mate thinking of buying a 3200GT - cacking himself about typical Italian running costs ( My cousin has a Ferrari 360 - not too bad to run - and I have a Murci......oh dear!
I am trying to calm his nerves. Can you settle this for good.

Cheers
Neil

Theres too much going on, maybe one logo on one spoke would look cool though.

As long as he buys a good un he should EASILY be able to maintain it on £2k PA. Service is 12k miles, belts at 36 miles and chains at 64. Make sure it has the red key..................and enjoy!

It would look ok with a crown in the middle, the rest looks like a kid has been let loose with a stensil kit.

Yikes!

I have a thing about overly badged cars (about the only thing that brasses me off about Ferraris, to be honest) so I'm not a fan of adding more.

The trident is already evident on the wheel hubs. If it wasn't, the single text and logo would look cool.

But it is...

So no.

Still a stunning car, though.
