i just started thinking about the little studs in them, i hate that, takes all the Elegance out of the car, sure makes it look sporty but i'm almost 30 years old...
any advice??? what should i do with the wheels and tires when they get here, i also already ordered the lowering kit H&R, that is ok, i'll keep that, but what if i don't like the wheels?

I'm not sure about what goes down in Egypt, but I know in the states that you could refuse delivery and at most all they could charge you for is the shipping fee. Granted it's not necessarily the most honarable option to pursue, but you may wanna try calling the wheel dealer and see if they'll work with you too. Whatever you do, don't mount them on the car if you're unsure. If mounted you can almost guarantee that the wheel dealer won't take em back.

See if they're willing to put the re-stocking fee towards another style wheel maybe....that is if they offer other wheels.
Or, if it's the silver wheel studs you don't like, maybe pay a local shop a couple hundred bucks and have the silver studs powder coated or painted black....just an idea

I how something works out for you may be you pay a bit more to the guy and try and change them,
what this about 30 years old, you do know that the older you get the more sporty car you will get.
In about 70% of people that drive Ferrari are over 40

just over 30 is not old at all for a sporty look. Hay my dad is coming to his 70s and he drive the ACS e60.

In HK 100% you can not change them if you payed upfront.

Actually that's a GREAT idea!! If they won't credit your the 20% towards a new set, then by all means pay the restocking fee and move on...as EVERY time you see your car with wheels you don't like - it will bum you out...eventually to the point you will consider getting rid of the car! Consider it a lesson learned and move on.
