Very bad taste... leaving the suspension in the 'up' position for a photo... tut tut

Personally love the colourscheme!!!

A bit too 'Max Power' for my liking!

I don't like the wheels personally.

Far more worrying is the amount of rust on the front disc ( I assume its rust and not some weird ceramic disc ).

Drive the thing ffs, don't just wash it, wheel it out for a photo, and put it back to bed again!

Wheels would be nicer all black, especially with the green calipers.

Can't say I like any aftermarket wheels on Murci / Gallardo that I have seen.

I dislike the colour of the car and the wheels, both imply the owner has bought the car entirely just to be seen.

I like it.

I've seen worse wheels but most of the aftermarket ones I've seen on Lambos are pretty ropey - but there's no accounting for taste!

If he drove it slowly and pulled the hand brake slightly the corrosion would be 'wiped' off.

I'd prefer sticking with the Hercules Lambo alloys as they feature (much like the Gallardo's Cassiope rims) the telephone dial design that were on the Countach.

I actually quite like it boxedin. Although agree that it looks as though it's just for show and should be being driven. Also not a fan of the black rear lights!

I think it looks OK - as mentioned before, maybe black wheels would look better....

Tongue in cheek - reference to such a car not being synonymously driven by shy retiring types!

I hope the owner doesn't think it is a unique scheme: I saw one that looked exactly like that at the St Gallen dealership (customer car in the workshop). The, er, lovely green extended to the interior too.

Its a shame that bright coloured cars are associated as wanting to be seen in. Its semi-correct imo but not always the case.

My view of the car is I like the car but not the colour of the wheels or back lights. I would stick with silver and definitely not black, never seen the point of black as it means the design can not be appreciated.

I think the black wheels are correct and many Murcis are that way as it brings the colour of the grills and rear quarter light areas into play. Can't see why silver should be introduced when you see the rest of the car. However in my mind, body colour wheels are a real no no. Surely the green rims are all that is controversial about this car, and they should also be black? Other than that, it's perfect IMHO.

Thing is, wheels can be played with, colouring them is only a few hundred quid. No permanent issue, maybe just a temporary change for changes sake?
