Crosslace/snowflake wheels on a LAMBOURGHINI?!!
....well sort of lol. Been out for a year or so now but they were new to me,
Check out these Gallardo rims->
Is this a nod to F-body styling from one of the foremost exotic manufacturers? probably not, but I thought they were strangely familiar and had to share.
**edit** just realized I missed clicking on appearance and detailing. Mods, feel free to move to correct area

Funny, this is what comes to my mind when you mention "snowflake" rim. Looks nothing like the link you provided.

I'll admit it takes a bit of imagination, but if you were to stretch the outer ring of "diamonds" (for lack of a better term) and shrink the inner one they're right on. Its even the SAME NUMBER, 10, on each wheel!

The proportions aren't right. OK, so what to call it? A melted snowflake?

I'm not buying it Phishman...if anything, we should've said that the wheels on the 1993-96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited were a ripoff of the 15x7 Snowflakes used on the 1976-81 Trans Am.

Re: Crosslace/snowflake wheels on a LAMBOURGHINI?!!
ouch, no love for this post!
good call on the jeep wheels, but those are really more of a color match with the black and gold. The pattern is oval instead of the F body's diamonds.
geometrically these wheels are dead on, it's only the proportions they changed. out of 95 views NO ONE else thinks so? I must be going

Wow. Snowflake rims look similar to a Jeep offering on XJ limited and ZJs, but a Lamborghini? Nah.
