    i probably put 10 different factory ferrari wheels from various models on my 612, and i think my stock 458 and 488 rims look best on my 612.
    Simple classic design and concaved :

    Nope, offset is even perfect, no need for spacers.

    John actually threw some helpful hints at me when I fitted GTO wheels to my OTO.

    He really has fitted every imaginable factory wheel to his 612, and demonstrated pix of most every combination, so he's the guy to ask (along with Taz of course) if you have any questions about fitment and results.

    The 458 wheels he shows here really do look Good, but I'm still partial to the GTO wheels on these cars. I was fortunate enough to find mine in the rare polished finish version which is exactly what i was after...

    MoeD can you post a standing side pic of your car please? In the pics you have posted the GTO wheels look very aggressive and muscular. I would love to see how the wheels look from a distance.

    Thanks, I can't make up my mind if these look better in pics or the challenge wheels but I have a feeling that these look better in real life.

    The GTO wheels are a full inch and a half wider front and rear than the 612 Challenge wheels (9.5/11.5 vs 8/10). Makes for a much meaner look. One of the reasons many 612 owners like 599 rear Challenge wheels (11").

    For me, the wheels must have a 5-star design of some kind.
