    Here are some pics of the car with the wheels. Gets lowered next week, but this will do for the weekend. Some pics are with flash and some are not. So it may seem bright on some then others.

    Front 19X9 255/30/19
    Rear 20X12.5 345/25/20

    The black is BMW Black Saphire. Has some pearl in it. Looks much better then just black and hides the scratches better. The stripe is Rosso Scuderia to match the car.

    Oops ... NOT my cup of tea !!

    you americans have some "strange" taste about Ferrari's

    This is USA. We have starbucks not tea.

    If ENZO stops US then that would hurt big time. US is the biggest marker.

    I get your point. That is why each of us custom our car how we want, or just leave it how it left the factory.

    If you dont like this car, you better not look at my F430 SCUDERIA when I get it. I assure you I will be the only one with the color combos that I pick out.

    I don't love the look either BUT please don't stereotype all americans.
    I prefer my 430 stock, but what others decide to do is none of my business!!
    So leave the american bashing out of the discussion or get off the internet that we created beeacth!!!!

    Wow that is direct and to the point.

    Everyone has a choice on what to do. That is why the aftermakert business is a mulit-billion dollar deal. Not sure if you guys ever went to SEMA in Las Vegas. I usually go each each. It has thousands of vendors with new products to custimize your car with. Yes some look like hell, and some just give a car the right look to set it off.

    I know by putting these pics up will piss off some people, make them hate it, or maybe give them a idea on what to do with their car. I just want to share what I did. I did not know even know a 345/25/20 would fit on a F430 until I saw about 3 members on this board with that tire. Once I read they had no rubbing problems at all, I decided that was the choice for me.

    Again these are just pics to enjoy or not. I hope more postive then negative, but if not then that is ok with me also. All that matters is that when I look at the car I am happy. Other then that not much else matters.

    Maybe it's just my horrible American taste, but I think it looks incredible! The wheels, the stripe and the interior all look great! One question. The 430 has factory coilovers doesn't it? What would you be replacing them with to lower the car?

    You dont have to replace anything. That is the great thing. Just give them a few turns to lower the car down. You can choose the ride height that for yourself. I would suggest to corner balance and track align the car after yoiu are done. I am hoping the exhaust and lowering can be done by next week.

    lol, I didn't want to sound like the wiseass telling you that coilovers could be lowered, as I was sure you probably already knew. I just didn't know if they had replacements for the stock suspension that you had in mind.

    Not sure how long I will keep my car. So dont want to do anything that I cat put back to stock easy. I might not keep the car once I get my F430 Scuderia.

    I am on the fence on whether I like it or not. I doubt I would do it to my own car, but I definitely respect the creativity.

    He died in 1988, I doubt he cares much about business in 2008.

    I'd like to se it RAISED so the front spoiler doesn't scrape over every dip and bump. How about a hydrolic lift like the Enzo????
