    Can 575 wheels be fitted to a 550 without modification, or does it involve using spacers?

    Does the 'yes' refer to the first or second question that 550JAB asked?

    Yes, they fit perfectly. The 3 piece 575 wheels are very much desired by many 550 owners. Myself included. But they are tough to find at a reasonable price.

    They're an upgrade for sure but the 550 modulars look the best, IMO. They absolutely make the car.

    Do you have any pics of the 550 modulars?

    EDIT: wait... they're the 550 Barchetta OEM wheels. Yes, those are awesome.

    Hello

    I can help with the weight of the modular 19" for the 575

    A rear rim, 10.5 x 19 = 14.850 g / 32.75 lb
    front rim 8.5 x 19 = 13.800 g / 30.43 lb

    So not really lightweight.

    Anyone knows lighter one's that fit?

    regards

    We have a set of both the 550 18" and 575 19" modular wheels available. As mentioned previously, they are really expensive.

    Either set will run over 10K for brand new Ferrari items. We've seen aftermarket copies and used originals on eBay for about half that, but they don't come up very often.

    How much is a new set of 575 stock wheel? I assume the modular wheels are the split rims, I was thinking more of the standard 575 wheels with the ridges running up the spokes.
