Looks very tasteful to me.

Is that what the kids are calling it these days? either way, i like it.

Hmmmm, never really liked gold wheel before now. Reconsidering....

Vitalone is a gold wheel man.

I am fond of gold. Had not thought of gold pants, but I like them too. Or at least the filler.

Gold is to much bling for me and as to the "filler" Terry I guess ....well I just guess.

Anymore pictures of the car? Looks like it's riding on gold Advan Model T5 rims. I've always liked the design of that wheel. Call me a traditionalist, but a red Ferrari with gold rims looks great if the interior is black.

Joe- Those are OEM Ferrari wheels and that car is the Ferrari 350 Can-Am, derived from the 330 P4 prototypes that were 1, 2 ,3 at the Daytona 24 Hours in 1967 and finished second behind Gurney/Foyt in the Ford GT MkIV at LeMans. More images.

Taz, too bad Ferrari doesn't race cars of that nature anymore. LMP 1 & 2 would be pretty awesome with Ferrari in it, but I think Ferrari is too scared to go after prototype racing ever since being shut down in 1966 at LeMans and never claiming 1st place again at Sarthe. I really like Ferrari's, but in all honesty, Ferrari is a cry baby company that has to have everything their way or they won't take part in it. In 1968, Ferrari boycotts endurance racing to protest FIA's new rules about limiting engine displacement to no more than 3000 cc. Ferrari also threatened to pull out of F1 in 2010 and it has also threatened to sue a man for turning a Ferrari into a limo.

I know for a fact that Ferrari told Atari that a game called Test Drive Unlimited 2 COULD NOT have Lamborghini in it or else Ferrari wouldn't give Atari licensing to use Ferrari's in the game. Seriously? It's a flipping game for crying out loud. I also know that Ferrari demands all kinds of crap these days with game companies. Can't tune the car, can't repaint the car and can't have Lamborghini. I'm not sure how many on here like car games, but for those that do, Ferrari is a PITA.

Again, I love Ferrari's but the company acts like a 2 year old some times. I don't think Ferrari could handle today's Prototype classes, the regulations change almost every year. If Ferrari entered and didn't start winning, they would start crying about it. But hey, this is my opinion and I'm sure there are people who will disagree with it.

Sorry for going a bit off topic here. One thing lead to another.
