Yes i believe the forum did. But then the discussion was original vs the later 95+ wheels (different than the 94 ghibli ks only futuras). But yeah i too now see the light but im still interested to see what the futuras would look like on the car. They have another issue as well, the wheel arch body is not folded up on the inside on the 93s like the rest of the modells. So potentially a wider tire even if fitted in the exact same possition as the later version ghiblis could interfere with the body if the car bottoms out. Then i guess one could take it to a shop and "fold" the panel like on the later versions but then im worried about potentially having to deal with paint issues??
Me n my dad actually test drove one of those first ghiblis some 20 years ago. It was for sale for around 300.000 SEK so about 25k GBP. It was a car in very good shape. He dident end up buying it despite me nagging him about it best i could for a month. A friend of his did end up buying the same car. I believe its worth close to 200.000 GBP today. I still nag him about it when he tells me that my Ghibli II was a purchase ill regret and dident "need" (which ofc he is correct in saying but i wanted it so why say it..)
The older Ghibli had a terrible 3 speed auto (as i remember it) but with lots of grunt. It was ofc a really old car and it felt like it as well. It did and do however still look super cool
The same shop did have a red Ferrari Daytona for not a lot more. That is likely on my top 10 of all time cars. Man if one could go back in time .)
