Best OEM Wheels for LP Gallardo
Discussion
While aesthetics are obviously very subjective, considering factors such as value for money, weight/performance, original wheel spec for the model and coordination with the rest of the car, which OEM wheel would score highest?
Styles I am comparing are Scorpius Gen I, Scorpius Gen II, Cordelia, Callisto and Apollo.
Simply looking at Gallardos for sale, the Callisto wheel tends to be the most common (and preferred it seems?) on the 'standard' models while the Scorpius wheels obviously the stock wheel on the respective generation of the SLs.
Presumably there are no fitment issues across the wheel styles / model generations?
In terms of sourcing OEM wheels, besides the obvious 'bloody nose' option of going through a main dealer, do people have experience of either of Eurospares (UK, both new and used/refurbished) or Santi Gomme (Italy, used/refurbished only)? Of course, there is also the private seller route although given the age of Gallardos, rare to find a mint set or freshly refurbished.
Beyond OEM wheels, there are obviously a large number of aftermarket options, e.g. ADV.1, which might score higher on value for money given no 'Lambo tax'! However, would these affect insurance given they aren't manufacturer spec?
Appreciate a lot of questions here but would be grateful for views on any elements.

I really like the callisto wheels on the LP560, I think they suit the car perfectly. I also think they paint well, I have seen several shades of grey on more brightly coloured cars and they can look very smart (not sure on the colour options were available from the factory). One thing to note is they are split-rim and if you buy secondhand be wary of cheap repairs, they really need to be split and have the fasteners replaced when refurbed.
