I was always curious how a classic wheel finish would work with the depth of Rosso. I kind of didn’t doubt it would turn out nice, but I admit I’m beyond pleased with the outcome here. That said, it’s tempting to try other finishes. They are all so nice looking! Maybe in the future we will all start a wheel-share program 🤣

I received mine. I didn't think I'd be able to mount for a few weeks, but I couldn't stand it...so I did. 😊
Unfortunately the weather had been horrible and I have no pics worthy of the wheels. They are great though. Double brushed gunmetal. Again, the pics are terrible. I love them. View attachment 149639

They do look great with the trofeo white. I wish I had been gutsy enough to do brushed champagne as well. I love the way those look with the trofeo white as well. My more melanated friends urged me to and I chickened out. These are amazing. The brushed throws the light, the coloring looks stock (which i wanted) and these are so easy to clean.
Perhaps half of each would've be the solution and then I could've turned the car around depending on my mood🤔. Either way, I'm beyond pleased. And no, @John4C , I'm not buying a second set. Yet, at least. I do like my wife and want to keep her too.😇
If anyone is waiting to order, stop waiting! Amazing wheels. Great price. Custom color and finish. Perfectly sets the tires. After a few spirited drives, I love the increased width of the stance. A+.

5mm is not a lot but seems to make a big difference. I may try them, do you need longer lug bolts?

edit
you have the new wheels, do they have more width anyway?
Click to expand...
Yep, new bolts are required. Oem is 22mm , so a minimum 27mm bolt needs to be used (mines 28mm).
Did also think i would not make a big difference....but it did.
New rear wheel was 8.5j et30 19'. Wanted it that way. Did not wanted my set to be flush with my fenders.
Decided to give it a try with a 5mm rear spacer. These are NOT hubcentric. The lip got enough meat on it so your wheel still rests on it with spacer in place. I'm happy with my results. My rears are now almost flush (still not, but that's the way i like it) with my fenders.
Downside is 130 gramms of extra spacer is added....:LOL:

And here we are!! :love:

Fronts - 18 X 7.5 Gabriella 26 et with 225/40ZR 18 Super Sport
Rear - 19 x 9 Gabriella 30 et with 255/35ZR 19 Super Sport
Centre caps - 60mm Giulia QV caps.

All on Standard Launch Edition Suspension

Was a bit over whelming at the beginning but once the car was on the ground and especially watching my son drive it with me from behind. It Looks Effing awesome.

If anyone is on the fence JUMP OFF! You really need to see the car in person as Photos dont do it justice.

@John4C big thanks the car looks awesome, I'll PM you as a mate want a set also.

Lovely, Joe….Very pleased to see the discussion on offsets wasn’t wasted. They look perfect to my eye.

To make it absolutely perfect in my opinion, Tyres should be 215/40 18 & 245/35 19. on the 7.5 inch and 9 inch rim if choosing Michelins.
Other brands may be different as they all build and have different shoulders with their tyres.
All in all the car is one tuff looking Chihuahua on steroids!

Every third week I think about having my wheels’ colour changed to something a little lighter. This is not one of those weeks. Today they looked beautiful in the early afternoon light. The phone camera didn’t quite capture it but jeez they looked especially nice today.
