    In the picture in post #2496 you can see that front and rear stars are not "turning" in the same direction, the correct way is the front wheel (you can compare with the second picture on post #2497). Like the 348 back in the days, the F8 has actually four different wheels, not two identical for front and two identical for rear.

    I guessed it must be something like that when you pointed it out. Thanks for clarifying.

    THANKS...hopefully he gets his F8 wheels turned around correctly. ;-) The twist is the wheel face goes a certain way and I have seen plenty of F8's at shows with the wheels mounted on the wrong axle.

    It was hard for me to get rid of my 2019 488GTB but I really wanted to get race seats and that Pista engine in the F8 and shorter gearing the F8 has. Drove the F8 and had to have it... YOLO right? ;-) My F8 interior is very Pista like with alcaterra ( spelling) all over and carbon.

    Wait, now you guys got me going crazy… the one with the wheels on wrong are just the rear wheels right? The fronts are correct to me. Is that what you’re all saying? Staring at mine now and my mind is all twisted.

    While having new side mount garage door openers installed I pulled the cars out for a photo op. To my eyes, the 458 is achingly beautiful.

    Recent addition....
    vs the Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login 458... I just like it better. It's all personal, but my thoughts are...I like the aesthetics better, all of them...front, rear, side (love the intakes). Interior basically the same, but I do like the bit more modern selector. The sound is good! Not as good as the 458, but good afaic. Def better than the F8.
    Power/driving characteristics...I like both, a bit different in each one, but I like both. I don't track these cars so the power in either is plenty for weekend warrior , twisty mountain road driving.
    Added the gloss black PPF on the skirts, bought a set of standard 488 five spoke wheels and had them refinished in gloss black. Original forged split spoke wheels I'll save.
