Please....Go with the factory upgraded 20" Birdcage wheels...they come in bright silver like these or a very tough looking dark grey or even a shiny ball polished finish similar to chrome from the factory.
Those aftermarket rims will make that beautiful Granturismo drive horribly and you will have a bright Orange TPM light to greet you every time you drive it ~Guaranteed !

I promise you there is not an aftermarket wheel out there that was designed specifically for the Granturismo as the Maserati wheels are.

^^^ Yes..they (BBS) are having problems reproducing the ball polished wheel so Maserati fired them ! I Was'nt trying to be smart but our service department always has cars in with TPM lights, bad tracking, vibrations,you name it ! and it's because of aftermarket rims 99% of the time.
Why don't you send the 20" birdcage rims out for chrome plating ? we do it on 20" Sport GT Quattroporte wheels a lot ~ looks great on dark colored cars.

Or send them out for a gloss black powder coating for a really tight euro kind of look..

^^^ You are right ! I am factory biased when it comes to wheels...Sorry ! It's just that I have driven too many exotics that just don't drive in a straight line or pull to one side..and it's always wheels.

I promise you that our wheels are every bit as good or better than the stock wheels. I can also promise you that they will be hubcentric and will not cause you to have a tpms issue.

Many of the issues people see are caused by:
1.The wheel shop ordering or installing the wrong fitment
2.The customer/end user demanding something that the shop/manufacturer knows wont work and they do it anyway.
3. A wheel company that builds a wheel, and makes it fit a bunch of cars instead of making it vehicle specific.

If the wheel is made correctly for the correct application it will work the way it was engineered to work. I am not saying that we are perfect, but we strive for perfection. We wont make a wheel if it wont work correctly.

good deal Marc.
That's how wheels should be done, vehicle specific

The lastest designs are looking good
