    Wheels don't flow with the car's lines too well.

    Those rims do not flow well with the lines of the car. Too big, plus there's a huge gap in the wheel well.

    Thank god people agree these are terrible! I understand, a Maserati isn't a very shoeable car, but there had to be something better!

    I'm usually not a fan of bigger more complex wheels but these are gorgeous. A few inches too large but on a black QP they work. You've given me some ideas.

    Forza,'

    All you guys who say these rims are too busy and loud must hate the optional wheels on the Granturismo S. I think those are hideous, matte or chrome.


    Forza,

    +1.

    The wheels look to be about 1 inch too big, but other than that, they look really good (but this is mostly due to the fact that the Q-Sport is a gorgeous car to begin with).

    Interested to see what Novitec's would look like...

    Yes. The Novitec's should be interesting, although I often find their choices to be either too much or too little.

    These guys panning these wheels are, I guess, "traditionalists" or something but the QP Sport's standard rims are far from traditional. They're beautiful and aggressive without being overdone but the shoes on this black one aren't that much more outlandish. I think the size kills it for a lot of people. It makes it look somewhat desperate to standout. But I like the idea.

    Forza,

    Yeah. You're right. I figured, what's the point? Everyone is entitled to they're own opinion, right? I'll be honest........as strange as it's going to sound, it actually looks better in person. But, that's my opinion anyway. 9 out of 10 people that talk to me in person about it, like it. I sure many of you would say that they were trying to be nice. I suppose that is a possibility as well. I like them.......and that's what matters most. :)

    I would have just sent the stock wheels out to have them dipped in dark chrome. But that's just me.

    Wheels look alright, you can never get the full perspective of how these cars look in pictures, you have to be there in person to truely appreciate them. They probably look better in person than in the pictures, usually is the case. Anyways, if the owner likes the new wheels, it's alright then, personal tastes need to be satisfied. :D
