Surely, big chrome alloys on an Enzo? People need to be castrated for this!!

I think they suit the car!

This 'trinket' for overpaid nancy-boy footballers and fake 'video-pimp-rappers' seems tailor made for such wheels.

Frankly, Ferraris are now the domain of the above faulted individuals, the mid-life crisis ponce, some Sheik or other and all sorts of dreadful people.

I have owned 2 Ferraris, and now feel almost embarrassed to admit this to people who don't already know.

Harsh but true.

Mycroft is right, but the only thing wrong with Ferrari is the name - its a cliché. Its associated with middle aged men in red leather trousers, open shirts and over dark orange tan. The car is surely phenominal but not my cup of tea.

I'm of the opinion (perhaps elitest) that cars like that, Ferraris and other supercars in general (GT2, GT3, Zonda, etc) should only be modified through whichever dealer channels are available.

Sticking aftermarket non-manufacturer/dedicated tuner (e.g. Brabus, AMG, Hamann, Koenig, etc) bits, especially chrome alloys, should be made a criminal offence.

Thank you Durzel

For your information, AMG is owned by the daimler chrysler co. .

on the contrary i think those companies are good. look at what AMG and Brabus have done to Mercedes', Koenig make some incredible cars. I'm not too fond of Hamaan products, but the well respected tuners like those are fine. Its when you start bolting Demon Tweeks stuff on that there becomes a problem.

The original sentance read to me as though using them parts was ok, and anything non tuner specialist was a bit bad. They were provided as examples of places which were ok as they are specialed tuners working with manufactures.

Thats how I read it anyway
