Hello does anybody know the specifications of the gallardo rims,what I wanna know are the whole and offset numbers,for example front 8.5x19" 5x112 ET37 and rear 11x19" 5x112 ET 42,sure that are not the right numbers but if anybody know thanks a lot!
BTW could someone give me some links for pretty aftermarket rims but only for the gallardo,I have searched a lot but nothing found for the gallardo.
Bye!

When l was collecting my Gallardo a few weeks ago l was told not to put any after market rims on the car....the reason was it will void the drive train warranty as the cars all wheel system has been calibrated for those wheel and tire combo only. I don't know it thats 100% true, but to find wheels that match the edges and shapes of the Gallardo will be very hard. I'm not going to bother with after market wheels, as l feel these are a great match for the cars stlye.
I does look like the tires could be 20mm wider on all corners.

Thanks PC,but actually I wanted to know the specifications of the rims (the diameter of the wholes is 5x110 mm or 5x112mm or what?),yes I agree that the standard are the best choice for safety when you drive very fast because the factory has tested with it,but for slow cruisin there are not cool enough,they have no special design and it if you own a black then you have to own darker wheels then the standard,it looks like on an Audi S4 and on MTV cribs I have seen so pretty wheels on a black Gallardo for a rockstar I think it was Travis from Blink 182 and he has get it from someone from NY,I wanna know who sells them there,what would speak against it if I would have two sets of wheels one for racing and one for cruisin,I mean you dont drive every day like Schumacher,isnt it?
Bye!

I don't think the total height of an after market wheel/tire addition to the Gallardo can be much more then 5-10mm larger or smaller then the OEM specs.
A new tire and a worn out one have a difference of 15-20mm in total height as it is, but what is the limit l wonder?
The drive line is built for that OEM radius so to change it dramaticlly would get us in plenty of trouble with warrenty....it's happened before when a guy changed his set up and melted the front end for a cost of $25k...I think it was a Murci
If l was to get my car to the track a bit more l would like to drop to 18 inch slicks for those days...that would be fun.
I must say Bob Chow, that pic you posted looks great, but l don't think l could go chrome.
