    Now that I see that this is not your car I can speak my mind...the bumper has 4 obvious "nipples". Why Maranello? What would Enzo have done??

    Amazing how the most modern styled of Ferrari cars looks so cool with vintaged styled wheels. Nice stuff.

    Those rims look great on that spider.

    My first take was no, but the second look I liked them. Brings back the old days but with more style.

    sexiest car along side the new lambo! :D

    the new Ferrari FF imo just looks ugly but its 4 seater and still the price of a house..

    you guys must be super rich... I still dream of the day I win 80 million in the lottery and can afford to buy and run one of these things..

    I thought for a short while I could buy the 360 as its 40 thousand but then only getting 9 miles per gallon and the costs to keep it running are so high up there that for you guys is probably chump change ;p

    the closest I will get is paying to drive the 458 at thruxton for £500

    I guess I'm in the minority here. I like the wheels, I love the car but the two together look terrible.

    I'd like to see that wheel combo in the metal. Looks good. Though I prefer more rubber, a bigger profile. I'd take 18's.

    I have to agree. Love the wheels, but I'd have to see them in person on the car in order to make a decision. Add in the fact that it's a photo shop and the angle as well as the size are probably off.

    no no no I must agree with the nay sayers, just cannot get on with those wheels on the spider, too big, too dated, too bling, too retro, there is nothing I like about them.
    To me the 458/spider has a sleek elegant edge to it, hence why the thin spoked wheels compliment the overall shape, there is synergy in the whole package. Those massive retro wheel just destroy it, makes it look like a blinged up jap car...sorry, good job we are all differant, but no not for me at all...maybe Its becase I am english and have that english reserve!!!

    Derek,

    I'm with you 50% love the car hate the wheels and think the combo is tragic - but each to their own.
