    Here is how Ferrari describes these wheels in their marketing info:

    "This specific Ferrari Genuine wheel is an extremely lightweight multi-spoke wheel which may only be specified in conjunction with titanium studs with captive conical washers. This reduces rotating masses by approximately 1 Kg per wheel compared with even the most extreme optional wheel available - a 5 spoke forged component used in conjunction with steel studs. The design of the wheel is a technological and styling evolution: the forms are tauter and the spokes are narrower, creating an impression of lightness, speed and ultimate drivability."

    After a quick search here on the forums I have discovered post #5 on this thread - http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/458-italia-488/525346-ferrari-458-factory-wheel-weight-comparison.html

    Weights are 24 lbs each up front and 27 lbs in the rear respectively.

    The 458 Italia is the best looking of all the modern V 8s
    I would say it beats all the modern Ferraris with the exception of LaFerrari

    What a beauty.

    Yes, I've seen a few more RF 458's, but not many, maybe 3-4 around here in pictures.

    As much as I agree that the Italia is a truly lovely CAR (and I DO feel quite strongly about it), there has never been, nor will there ever be, any HUMAN lovelier than this woman... She's a Goddess in every way.... :) :)

    Ha ha, that is true, Eilig. The Italia has her eyes, or at least the tips, lost in the Speciale and the 488.
