concur on the 18", but slap a 22 (or even 20) with a drop, and it'd look much better (gotta have it with the kit though)....i actually like the portofino's understated classy look (when paired with the proper kit)....

Yeah I took those pics behind the Mandarin Hotel a couple weeks ago when I was there, I could have taken better pics but I don't want the driver to notice me taking pics
he might come out and shoot you
same with me, i don't like the design of the wheel fundamentally. it's all about personal taste of course, just like i don't think most people would like my wheels neither. but for sure 18s look silly (aftermarket)

Looks like my mud guards are being delivered today. Ahead of schedule.
I should be able to get them on before I have the exterior treatment put on Sunday. Excellent. I'll send final pictures when I get it back from what is basically a good "wax job".
As far as the wheel comments. Ugg.... I actually like the chromed 19" OEM ones. Chrome wheels look great on a black car.
I'll wait until the tires need to be replaced to see what wheels are available at that point to decide if I want to go with 20's or bigger. I like the ride I'm getting from the 19's. It's not a sports car, so the extra rubber helps smooth things out.
