    The wheel on the car in the video is the GFG Trento-5, one of GFG's most popular styles dating back to 2003. A few years ago you couldn't throw a rock in LA or Miami without hitting a Ferrari, Bentley or Lambo rockin these or GF1-5s in full chrome. I can't say I love the full chrome on that car, but I attached a shot of a silver 360 just to show how much better that same wheel looks in a subtler silver finish.

    And as YachtLights said, you can't go wrong with the new GFG Italia in a 19/20 or 20/20 setup. The Italia is a 3pc interpretation of the stock 458 wheel and weighs the same as the factory wheels, so there's no performance drawback...

    Novitec's are always a safe choice.

    It's like that on every single car. But you don't feel it on an Escalade as much as you would a Ferrari 360/430 or other high-performance car that likes to rev and doesn't make a lot of torque.

    It boggles my mind when I see someone throw big / mismatched wheels on a sports car. It comes across as cool / hip to the uninformed, but they aren't fooling anybody who knows how much damage it does to the performance and driving experience of the car. It's downright dangerous to do it to an AWD car like modern Lambos and some Porsche models.
