    Never one to keep anything stock I just mounted up HRE's newest S series. Matte centers with a brushed lip. Just trying to make up my mind on OEM center caps.

    Sorry, I know it's crappy resolution but I wanted to get at least one shot up. As always thanks to Ben at WB for putting up with me throughout the process.

    I have and pretty sure those will be the ones I go with given all carbon already on the car. The only other mod I and considering is a Kressig exhaust, loved my f430 so much I gotta believe it would sound great on the 458.

    Outstanding! I like the idea of CF center caps as well.

    You car looks great, Shuey2k! The black HRE's fits perfect to the white painting of the 458!

    Glad you got it early because it would have filled up Santa's sleigh.

    Looks fantastic!

    Not a fan of 2 or 3 piece wheels, but I have to say that the stance of the car is just amazing - best picture ever of a 458!

    So, what are the wheel sizes/tire sizes, and any detailed specs on the offsets for the HRE's. Car looks awesome!

    Also, any handling issues with the car that low?

    Looks amazing. And the tints are perfect too (im guessing 20%?). The car looks BA, but very clean at the same time.
