    What he said. Do you feel the larger wheels have effect on the handling...?

    Explanation: Investing in lowering the car + current wheels = out of control sexy.

    Rubber bands look best when you there's no fender well gap. If the tires rub when you lower the car, there's your excuse to run a racing setup with 4.5 degrees of front negative camber. :):) That way you'll demolish the front tires in the same amount of time you will the rears AND have more fun. ;)

    EDIT: Oh, and that rear dish on those wheels is incredible.

    stunning car! I bet the exhaust is an orchestra in full production! You can leave the wheels in the boxes though! Sorry way too big for the car! Makes the brakes look like they belong on a Honda Civic! Style was O.K. just the size.

    That ain't right.

    Anyone notice how small the brake rotors look now ?

    I like them. I don't know if I would have gone with rims so big in the rear because they make the brakes look tiny!! It might be costly but can you upgrade to carbon ceramics? I believe those are somewhat bigger brakes. All in all the style of the rims are awesome and anyways a majority of exotics in California are modified and some aren't so tasteful so good job sticking with novitech :)

    I like big wheels but would not go with anything bigger than 20". These 22" looks realy VERY BIG - man, you realy do not make compromises :)) - not sure if like it or not,i would like to see more pictures. Anyway, if you have such big wheels, i would lower the car just little bit and than it should look awesome.....

    Way to go on the Novitec exhaust, rear looks great.

    A wise man said "go big or go home" although I find OEM sizing the most aestically appealing.

    Pimp my ride bro'......(and all that!). Those brakes look puny with those rims.....you could get a family of Albanians in those arches/wheel to brake gap :) Get it back to stock rims.

    Intervention time....... you came for honesty right?

    My 7 year old likes your wheels; he said they look like his Hot Wheel cars.

    I honestly think they are OK on his Hot Wheels but too large for your Ferrari. They have taken away dramatically from the elegance of this beautiful vehicle

    The old adage: "Money doesn't always buy style!"

    Just because they are the biggest wheels you could find, it doesn't mean that it does the car any justice.

    Too over the top...wheels too big for disc's go back to stock for the best combo.

    Sorry but agree. IMO this car is set up for performance, from the factory, earned in years of experience in F-1. Those wheels will defeat alot of that experience! Drive that car the way it was meant to be driven, I would imagine wheels that size will take that away. Let alone the beauty of the modern Ferrari. It's a 430 not a Lamborghini.

    Exactly what I was thinking maybe going to Brembo big brakes would help I have 19s on my 360 I can see going to 20s but the 22s are just too big for me love your car though

    awesome car, love the challenge grille, just some bigger brakes would help the wheels look not as big, but still great car

    I'm very sorry. Those wheels belong on a Range Rover, not a Ferrari, any ferrari, any car for that matter. Perhaps bigger is not always better. But, you obviously have enough money to rectify your faux pas sooner than later. Best of luck in the future.
