They want their wheels back.
I don't really like this thing.

Exactly.
It's not for me, but I do like that companies are still willing to do this sort of thing. I'd hate to see bespoke coachbuilders who do more than tack on dreadful bodykits, dubious wheels and 4000 extra horsepower go to the wall.
Those wheels are very Italian, like so many Campagnolo and Cromadora factory wheels over the years.
I find having a 5 door named "Quattroporte" to be a bit odd, however...

I noticed that about the wheels, too...they remind me of old Alfas, Lancias, and such.
I'd also hate to hear a typical American try to pronounce "Cinqueporte", though.

Yes. Calling it "Cinqueporte" would fix the deal-killing handicap of the car having the wrong name.
:facepalm:

They could call it "Quattroporte mas uno".
Doesn't that just roll off the tongue? :lol:

How dare you! :facepalm:
At least it looks better than Porsche's Panamera.

I have a few thoughts. They are, in no particular order:
NO! :rage:

I have to agree with 2o6. I really like those wheels.
Modern looking wheels would make it look tacky.
The whole car looks British.
A nicer Vel Satis. I approve.

Thank you. These wheels look like something from a design studio or coachbuilder.

If the back end were faster, I'd like it more.
Those wheels do nothing for me. I can't even muster the strength to hate them.

No, that's alright. You keep it. You've earned it.
It's awful. It is horrendous.
Is this a joke?
The regular Quattroporte looks much better.

Seriously, WTF, Maserati? Not every car has to come in a hatchback.

I was thinking I should take the lame boring hubcaps off my Subie and do that.. :lol:
I honestly don't mind the wheels. They remind me of old Alfas, and that's not a bad thing at all.
i dislike it immensely! ugh :confused: !!!
I don't know man. I think it would work if it was smaller.
