    - Because it is an European car.... normal to serve Europeans first! :)
    - Because US certification is more painful?

    Agreed, the black or dark wheels makes the car much much more better/aggressive.

    That nero 458 is just perfect.

    I think that's the best one I've seen so far. Grigio Silverstone is such a gorgeous color.

    That's the most suitable place for the front plate too, IMO.

    Look at this one. The front of the car resembles the original concept sketches.

    Agreed! And those red calipers balance the red on the rear lights perfectly. Wonder how it would have looked with black sills. Are those the standard colored wheels?

    Bob, my 355 and 360 Spider were Black and I was dying to get a Rosso Corsa on my 430, but I have to say Black looks amazing on the 458.

    Lovely...didn't like photos of the car before, but these pics change my perspective quite a bit.

    I believe so. It is not Grigio Silverstone that's for sure.

    I love the first picture, showing the 458 surrounded by boring, unimaginative cars. I honestly can't understand why some people hate the design.

    Looks more like Argento Nurburgring if you compare how similar it is to the standard wheel finish against it. It's way too light to be Titanio.

    I think you're right. I was thinking Argento Nürburgring too, but I was unsure after seeing the third picture.
