i answered some questions for Taz(fcar guru), thought i share them here too.
i spend so much time on cars it isnt healthy.....

here's whats waiting for me at the parts department, supposedly the lightest of the factory wheels :



i picked the stocks for my spider just to be different from my italia, which i think suits this bodystyle the best, and its slightly concave design and softer look matches the rest of the body.
And it doesnt "feel" any heavier than my italia's optional 5 spokes which was important to me when i ordered my italia :



these are also waiting in the parts bin if im bored, silver 5 spokes, which i can make black or whatever :



and of course my factory optioned bright dark grey 5 spokes on my italia which show off the brakes more, but no concave design that i think look a little flat on a spider :



but whom am i kidding when u see ur favorite wheel on a spider !!!













if i do anything it will be at the next tire change or how bad my money wants to leave my wallet.

 

You need a job.

 

Swap wheels and sell the coupe.

 

yawn

 

i don't get the point of this

 

This time you should just wrap one door.

 

ever thought about aftermarket wheels like HRE etc?

 

I think the top wheels (on the grey Coupe) would look amazing on your Spider.

 

Car would look great with 4 different color wheels. Red White Green and Yellow.

 

I personally don't care at all for the wheels on the grey car, the 20" 5 spokes are definitely the best look on the 458.
