You are right, they are Vertini Henessey .. good eye The car handles great , it is a bit more stiff but it feels just right. The stock springs made it feel like a boat and now the handling is significantly more agressive.

Car's looking nice! Keep up the good work. And listen, chrome is a personal choice - just that people that choose it... I don't know... I'm kiddin' - the last pics of the car show great! I hate chrome and I'm still saying it looks great - must stand for something, right?

Most people on here don't like all chrome wheels but wheels with chrome lips are fine. There are some gorgeous wheels out there with chrome lips.

Great decision to drop those AMG replicas for these Vertini wheels. Combined with the drop, I'd say it's 400% improvement over your prior set up.

I think it looks a thousand times better. The drop alone makes a world of difference in the way it sits. As far as wheels, comon guys, he didnt ask to be shot down about his choice of wheels. To each his own, lets not forget why this forum is so great.... okay?

Your car looks a 1000x better and congrads on your new purchase Mel


and welcome Luigi

Sorry fellas , I won't be posting pictures of the old wheels.Fortunately there was someone interested enough in them and wanting to buy them off me. They are SOLD. I am pretty happy with my Vertinis. I appreciate all the positive feedback.

Thanks
