430 F430 Updates

So since I got my F430 in Oct or Nov whenever the hell it was haha, I converted the car to a manual shift, I Had 458 wheels made for the car and I also took on the job buying and rebuilding/painting and installing Ceramic calipers and converting them to iron using Girodisk rotors and pads. Heres some pics. The first pic is before I started so from this

Looks great buddy. Really fills the wheels up now.

 

Totally Totally Totally awesome

Excellent improvements and extremely well done

 

Thanks guys. The red calipers that were on the car just didn't do this car any justice

 

The Yellow calipers really make it pop. Very nice color choice.

 

yellow calipers look much better

very nice looking

 

Nicely done!

 

Lorenzo, it Looks great. The rear wheels look to have more dish than the 16M wheels. What offset did you specify?

 

Either way, its an amazing looking car! Enjoy!

 

Thanks Mark. Well offsets is a weak point for me so I trusted them to figure it out. The front came out great but the back needed more space between the caliper and the wheel so I had to get a 3mm spacer to make it work comfortably for me. I can check the offset they quoted me in my paperwork once I get back home

Great choice on yellow. Doing same to black calipers on my blacked out spider. Nice to see the evolution on your project!

Mark the front offsets are 24 and rear is 32.

 

Looks fantastic and even more impressive is that it was all done by yourself

Very nice!!! Great looking 430, and with a stick now to make even better!

 

Thanks for all the compliments. I had a vision for what I wanted the car to look like and I accomplished it. It was a ton of work tho but it all pays off.

 

Looks fantastic.

 

Wow nice! Looks sharp. How good would that look with them wheels black. I know black is not for everyone.

 

Looks super awesome! How did you fit the 458 wheels onto the car?

 

Thanks Lorenzo. Stock Scud is 31.5mm front, and 39mm rear.

So you have +7.5mm at the front, and +7mm at the rear. It looks good.

 

Hi can you share where you got you spacers from please, to adapt to 458 wheels. I know a guy on here did them but had them bespoke made.

Thanks in advance

 

Dbktommy and bobafett, I had these wheels made to fit my car. The only reason i needed a spacer was due to the rear wheel being so close to the caliper. Fronts were good. Some may say i shouldnt have needed a spacer but this was the first time these wheels were made as far as i know and it wasnt worth fussing with it for a 3mm spacer and the price of $65 to get on the road.

 

What was different for these wheels to work? Is it stud pattern? Did they use actual 458 wheels as donors?? Looks great

 

I can only assume the wheels where made from scratch which must have been costly, as the stud pattern and centre bore are completely different.

I know someone on here who has had adapters made like bolt on spacers, and I might explore that route.

I would love to run the newer style wheels on my F43O

 

That looks very nice. Very nice. Good job.
