    I'd prefer a stock one.... that looks like someone tried way to hard and the mods look tacky.

    The wheels would be nicer if they were smaller. 20" is pushing it on the F430. 19s are perfect!

    I like the wheels and wing. The diffuser might mess things up though, and it dosen't look right.

    I'm pretty critical about aftermarket wheels on Ferraris...these are actualy not the worst I've seen. If they were Chrome though, a definite "no-go".

    The simple and uncluttered lines of the 360/430 can get away with the busy multi spoke wheels that are so in fashion today.

    Older cars like the 308/348/TR with all the scoupes and grilles, etc look best (IMO) woth "simple" wheels.

    a little over sized looking. However, it does give it a sort of IMSA GTP car look...

    that looks like the Novitec Rosso conversion whihc is a twin supercharger conversion and the rear wing is needed for downforce.....


    check the conversions out here...

    some amazing power increases in the 360/430/612 :)

    Actually it is the Hamann kit, the novitec kit doesn't have the metal struts attached to the diffuser and the wing isn't set on metal supports. Although both kits are quite similar, the novitec kits doesn't use the front sideskirts behid the front wheels. But i do think that the Novitec kit is a bit cleaner and cohesive than the Hamann kit.
