    Hey everyone,

    At Wheels Boutique, we’re always excited to help Ferrari owners take their vehicles to the next level with the perfect set of wheels. Recently, we had the pleasure of outfitting a Ferrari 488 with a stunning set of HRE S104SC wheels, and we wanted to share the details with the community. Check Out The Full Gallery!

    Here’s the setup we went with:

    • Wheel Size: 21x9.5 for the front and 22x12.5 for the rear. This setup not only fills out the wheel wells beautifully but also enhances the 488’s aggressive stance.
    • Finish: We chose a full polished finish for these wheels, which adds a touch of brilliance and perfectly complements the sleek lines of the 488.
    • Custom Features: To make this upgrade even more unique, we included custom-made Ferrari carbon fiber center caps. These are a subtle yet sophisticated touch that ties the whole look together.
    • Tires: We paired the wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires—255/30/21 up front and 335/25/22 at the rear. These high-performance tires provide exceptional grip and are a perfect match for the dynamic capabilities of the 488.
    • Suspension: The car also features a Novitec suspension system, which slightly lowers the ride height, optimizing both aesthetics and performance with this new wheel and tire combo.
    We’ve seen firsthand how this setup transforms the driving experience of the Ferrari 488. The HRE S104SC wheels are not only a visual upgrade but also contribute to improved handling and overall performance. The full polished finish is the key for this timeless look, ensuring the wheels continue to impress for years to come.

    If anyone is considering a similar upgrade or has questions about the HRE S104SC wheels, feel free to reach out. We’d be happy to share more about this build and how we can help you achieve the same level of perfection with your Ferrari.

    Opt me out.
    I like my stock Ferrari OEM wheels.
    IMHO Ferraris speak for themselves.
    No bling required.

    The wheels scream "look at me", in my opinion. I do give you points though for calling them wheels rather than rims.

    Stock wheels says alot about a person. Horribly choiced aftermarket wheels says a lot too.

    I like it all though so why am I talking.

    There's a guy in my city that gets these wheels for his cars. They are heavy as hell..all bling. Not a performance wheel. I'd rather have a lightweight monoblock forged performance style wheel.

    From a visual perspective it's all subjective won't get me to disagree with another person's opinion on how the wheels look. However, as far as I know HRE's are generally lighter than stock wheels. Thus improving performance.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I'm only going on picking these wheels up/21/22" compared to my HRE monoblocks... definitely the 3piece wheels in this post are heavy. If there was a scale around i would have weighed them. Just what I felt. Plus they are full of bling with light catching parts. All personal preference but i like the more race inspired simple wheel looks usually.
