    I like the wheels. They are different from mine. Are they a stock option or aftermarket?

    We do not sell seatbelts. Even if they are DOT/NHTSA correct, the process of importing them legally into the USA requires a very specific set paperwork that makes them cost prohibitive for our business model. Other vendors probably (actually, I know they do) send these kinds of things in a 'barely documented' way via postal services into the USA.

    Not me.

    If the belts are legally allowed in the USA, I recommend you work through your primary Ferrari dealer to purchase them. Dealers have a big support (read that to mean 'legal') apparatus behind them and can afford the process and liability.

    You are probably not going to get far with a dealer either. My suggestion a Ferrari authorized body shop, you would be surprised what they have access to. Also my guess is that you will need to buy a bit more than just the seat belt and the cost might just make you change your mind. Seat belts as Daniel pointed out are a safety feature and there are a lot of rules that go along with them. Good luck.

    I love the way your 458 sits. Did you lower it or just add bigger wheels. Filling up the fender well gaps changes the whole stance of a 458.

    Thanks

    Yes sir it’s HRE P104SC in brush cleared color.

    I got them from Wheel Enhancement in Los Angeles. Best price and best service in L.A.

    Another question. Since swapping springs and lowering are you scraping diffuser fins, front spoiler, or inside wheel well? I don’t track my car but do occasionally flog it with ample acceleration and heavy braking.

    That’s a sweet ride bro. Appreciate the convo. My ride in full stock trim below. I’m really coveting your wheels and ride height.

    Sounds great!

    white with red interior combo is my favorite too. It is going to look very nice when lowered and stance

    The staggered wheel size (20/21) is just awesome. I think I am going to have to look into that.

    Looks better with the drop. No issues bottoming out with the heavier car?

    It's only lowered about 3/4 of an inch there should be no issue.
