    hey guys, do you think the novitec wheels for the 360 look very similar to 430 wheels? I really like the novitec wheels, but the 430 wheels seem a little more affordalbe. Any thoughts?

    F430 wheels look just a good as the Novitecs and are OEM from Ferrari .... plus they probably weigh a lot less and are a better fit (who really needs 355's on the rear?)

    Just to be clear, the NF1 are the single bolt wheels and the NF2 are the 5-lug.

    I know it all comes down to personal tastes, but for me I'd take the Novitecs over the 430 any day based on looks. You can fairly easy tell the difference. But I as Cig1 pointed out, the wheels do weigh a bit more.

    I got mine (5-lug) used for $5K with Pirelli tires (85% tread left) from a fellow F-chatter.

    Arthur here has a set on his car too. Maybe he'll chime in.

    DEPENDS on which car they're going on.

    if you have a 360, the 430's will make the car look 'newer'.
    the novitecs are very nice but wont make it look newer just nicer than stock wheels.

    if you have a 430 the novitecs would be a nice upgrade, but i would rather paint the factory 430 wheels to match the color of the car... or at least some part of the wheel like the lip or something.

    ??? Am I missing something? The Novitec looks very similar to the 430 wheel. The Novitec is a little more angular than the 430 wheel but they are still pretty similar. Personally I think that the center lug NF1 looks great and even more modern than the 430 wheel.
