    Like the wheels. Having it that low will probably be a pain. You are going to put a body kit on a 458? To each their own.

    I think it looks brilliant! Ride must be brutal but bringing the roof colour into the wheels and the way the white shows off some of the body lines is just perfect.

    Tastefully done.

    Nicely done. It looks truly nice and IMO it doesn't need a body kit with it now lowered and the nice wheels.

    Well done.
    It's not often I like colored aftermarket wheels on a Ferrari,but your car looks good IMO.
    Most important is are you happy.....if yes...then all is well.
    Not too goofy,but I'm sure you'll hear the howls of disapproval from the "purists" :)

    I like the look but I hope you clear shield on the lower part of the car all the way to the back. My concern would be road crap coming off the tires. Also does the tires rub against the fender on hard turns and up steep inclines?.

    Looks beautiful but a bit too low for me and I would go -1 on these wheel sizes. There's no room left for any suspension travel or tight turning. The car has to be still practical to drive around.

    All i can say come driver her she drives amazing , remember springs changed she ride like oem in all honesty . Again lowered and how low is all preference . Anyone local want to come go for a spin i encourage you will change your perspective on a super lowered 458 on Novitec springs.

    Well done Ben. Little torn on the color match but I bet it looks great in person. Everything else is perfect.....especially the ride height!

    I normally are not into this style of modding, but I feel you did a great job, everything works together and it is stylish.

    Good job and enjoys!

    By far, the best lowered 458 and without spacer .. great setup

    I like it, any issue going over speed bump?

    Just curious - when you say wheels custom made/no spacers.

    Did you have the wheels made by changing the offset to get the same effect as spacers - or did you maintain the correct offset and get the look you wanted by going to a wider wheel ? Is there enough space to widen the wheels to do that ?

    Well, they are custom made via my specs . so for example you wanted a set we will review tire sizes you want to run and determine width , then we can discuss if you want wheels super flush on your fenders or a little in or even oem specs . Then with all this info we build your new wheels in accordance with the info .

    But yes if you just wanted lets say your oem looking wheels but made to be pushed out few MM we can easily make you that . if 1 piece by adding back pad or getting the forging wider or 3 piece we can simply do it by adding more outer lip.

    so yes 458 has a lot of room in the back max we have done is 13" wide with 355 tires in 21"

    Stunning and beautiful 458, Ben! It's a kind of art now. I'm not a fan of Bodykits, but the decent Vorsteiner bodykit looks much better then from other tuning brands like Mansory!
