    So just pulled the trigger after considering it for such a long time. The big question now is the wheels…of all my cars this one and my Porsche GT3 touring are the most special. I feel like I should not touch it and keep it completely stock. The difference is the Porsche has a perfect stance and this one for sure needs to be a bit lower and the wheels are black, so I am definitely changing to either diamond cut OEM or aftemarket…Happy to hear some thoughts. I will post pics as soon as I pick it up.

    Definitely lower it and change wheels. Factory ride height is way too high and wheel offsets are too tucked. Unlike Porsche GT cars which are better in both areas by comparison.

    Style preferences are subjective but IMO, lowering, Aftermarket wheels and an Exhaust is a MUST on these cars.

    Novitec NF10. I want a clean look and I didn’t want to sacrifice performance. Also will use Novitec springs to lower close that gap a little again without sacrificing the rear diffuser.

    My inspiration:

    https://vossenwheels.com/galleries/ferrari-488-pista-novitec-x-vossen-series-nf10-2/

    It’s funny as I was not enthusiastic or in the market for this car but know that I have it, within 15 minutes of driving it, I am in love.

    I took off my factory Pista wheels as they had some stains, coating issue, IDK…something, that I couldn’t get off. So I bought 488 wheels that I really like the simple style, and put those on until I figure out which ones I want to keep on the car.
    The originals are back from powder coating and I had them done in a gloss anthracite gray. Darker than the current gray 488 wheels, but not black, and far from the original silver they once were.

    Thank you. I did see that link. The color I coated the originals to, came from the color code of these Vossens. They’re still in the boxes since coming from the powder coating company, I’ll take pics at some point.

    Congratulations and beautiful color and pista. I actually like the stock spider rims a lot. Will you keep them? I would consider buying them if you don t intend to keep them.

    Those Anrky's look more like they belong on a F8 and not the 488 with the twisted spoke look. hope you're not doing that hideous body junk though.
