Wheels are built to OE Specs and fit OE Centercaps
Front is 20x9 & 20x10.5 Rear

What do you think?

why OE specs? should have gone a little more aggressive IMO...

A little too plain for a Maserati.... I kinda prefer the factory wheels.

They are not too bad (better for me than the OEM) but those tires are not fitting the wheel wells properly.

Looks as if the car needs to be lowered.

And they need a contrasting color on the wheel emblems to set off the rim better..

Waste of money IMO...people get rims to differentiate cars and make them their own and unique and had you not told me these are HRE's I would never have known. To each their own however.

I think if you put a rim that has a lip on this car, it would look so much more aggressive.

It gives the car a different look from other Maserati GT's....if that is what you want. It's hard to make this car look bad. We have 2 right here in our building complex.

There's at least 15mm and another .5 left in the rear of that fitment, and I really, really despise big wheels, but 20's on this car look like a set of 17's. 21's would've suited it much better.

lemansz20 has a little shameless behaviour in the past
This is probs the best looking maserati on wheels ive seen so far, but still no one is getting the offset correct on this car. I agree nerdrum, this car needs a 21 inch wheel and the offsets need to be aggressive, simple as that.

I agree they look way too simple.. looks like it came with these from the factory.
