a ferrari 5 spoke?  ;D

in early 2004 a belgian capri blue '58 ragtop was featured in Volksworld. made a huge impression on me at the time and i got a bug of my own 2 months later  :P anyhow, it also had custom made michelin XWX 205/70 on detailed 5.5 fuchs and it looked truly fucking amazing!

so i suppose fuchs (don't they suit just anything?)

Now THAT would be tempting!

They would go great with the 145 XZX in the front... too bad I cant fit larger then a 165 on the back of my GTV or else I would go for it!

But $282 each?! Ouch!!!
