Adam,

Word of caution.

If you are doing the track day in August that track will eat a OSF. Mine had shot sholders, but still 5mm left and I was taking it fairy easy. May be prudent to keep them for the event as track spares.

Update:
I have asked for them all to be restored to factory condition silver and as they do the maserati and ferrari wheels for carrs,they have the right colours.
I have also managed to get a complete set of front and rear Ultrac sassanta for £540 (all in) so will have the Pzero removed from the front and have Vreidstein all round.
Anyone want an as new( 8oo miles ago) used set of Pirrelliu P zero Rosso front tyres? for £180+ delivery?
Not kerbed damaged but like near new.
PM Me

£540 sounds pretty good for a new set of boots all round , im pretty positive you will be well impressed with them Adam , if your a bit of a poser at heart like me , you could always pick out the Giugaro on the side walls in white , looks cool and a little bit different

Havn`t confirmed the track day yet Safrane.I am checking with my appointments to see if days free.
But its a good point about the P zero.maybe cheaper to keep them.

I will get some images when i collect the car and tyres from maserati.(service due)
I had them fitted by the dealer as the fronts were worn.

I have had them done Now Andy thanks.
I must admit the Blue- silver is what works best for me.
In the end they did 8 coats of paints and primers and laquer and baked it all in an oven.
The entire wheels from front to back were done (tyres off of couse)
I am well pleased with the result and they said that whoever did the other "refurb" just sprayed over the top of the existing original laquer.

Adam , you can now consider yourself promoted to Poser of the 2nd degree ( just spotted the white Giugaro) now how sad is that cant think of anyone else who would sink to those levels for self gratification:shy2: to gain Poser of the 1st degree you have to attend a meeting , perhaps a quick blatt up to Stanford hall on Sunday will show your committment hehhe

YOU WILL find yourself pointing out to the less knowledgeable , that in fact the little blue badge at the bottom of the rear Quarter actually matches the tyres , look into their eyes when you tell em How cool is that and them watch then walk away heheheh

Not the sort of thing to be done the morning after the night before Andy , i can testify to that , you have to have a really steady hand , remember standing back at my handy work and then rushing for the camera NOW that is sad and yes their the vreddies
