Amazing what a new set of wheels can do to the appearance of a car, a car that already is eye-catching in standard garb. Hamann, the German tuning house introduced these EDITION RACE wheels; FA 9.0Jx21 with tyres 245/30ZR21 and RA 12.5Jx21 with tyres 345/45ZR21 to the Maserati GranTurismo and altered its look.

GT from Maserati is a two-door 2+2 seater with a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that kicks out 405hp at 7,100rpm and 460Nm at 4,750rpm. These Hamann wheels are just priming the GT for a later engine and power upgrade, and maybe even a few physical changes. Watch this space.

this has always seemed a tragedy to me... it's probably the best looking car currently on the road (in my opinion), and especially with the rims/lowering but it's not a decent supercar.. if only ferrari would let them make it as fast as a ferrari, it'd be superb. but alas, no dice...

I;m not a fan of tuners or people who desecrate the work of Italy's greatest stylists, but I actually quite like these wheels. They seem to pad out some aspects of the car which in regular form are overwhelm by fussy detailing elsewhere. For example, the wide rubber at the rear now seems to beef up the read arches, giving them a more suitable proportion next to those massive rear light clusters. Harmony at last!

Is it the camera that makes those 21's seem small, or is the car really that big?

The original wheels looks better. but i think Kahn rims will be superb on it I really like this car, it's one of the best looking car these days where the manufacturers are fighting to produce the most ugliest ones.

Beautiful car and rims. 400 horsepower is plenty for a touring car.
