    When I purchased the car, I was able to get all 3 sets of wheels. I currently have the Forgiato Dieci-ECL which are forged 3pieces staggered - they really fit the car nicely.

    The second set is the stock ones...and I am thinking of powdercoating them white or dark silver - still not 100% sure. I think white might look good after adding the tricolore stripes.

    However, I have this other set which are 19" Vellanos VM04 forged mono blocks - they are super light. I like the overall style of the wheels and the size/offset is perfect. However, I am not crazy about the color - so I am thinking about powdercoating them either black, dark silver or even bronze...if I can't decide, I might just put them up for sale.

    Is anyone really good at photoshop?

    Top pics are the Forgiatos that are on her now.
    Bottom pics are the Vellanos...

    Throw some Hoosiers on them and go to the track.

    My EVT750 is set up for that duty. But the thought had crossed my mind.

    If I can't make up my mind on what to do, that could be an option...

    All of my tables in the garage or in the basement are made out of wheels that I collected from track days or from people that curb checked them. I made some tables with motorcycle exhaust or springs...and some others from car parts...they are fun.

    These, I would hate to make something out of them since they are in perfect condition. I have a few other wheels I refinished that are in line to go to the surgery room - I haven't quite decided what to do with them yet...

    Nothing goes to waste here...LOL.

    I would keep the stock ones, stock looking...in case you decide to sell, as a lot of buyers prefer a more traditional look. IMO, White sounds atrocious, no offence. If you're set on it, plastidip over the stock finish so it's easily reversed

    Only thing is, 430 wheels are a lot more in demand than stock 360 starfish ones which are almost worthless on the secondary market.

    Careful, the F430 E-diff might not like that idea.

    The stock ones have some scuffs and scratches so I have to refinish them regardless. You are right - I may just refinish them and plastidip them and play with different colors...my photoshop skills are terrible, my painting skills are better. LOL

    I made bases that match the wheel hole patterns and used the stock chrome wheel bolts to hold the wheel to the base. Then a piece of tempered glass on top. No damage to the wheel.
