    I am interested in getting a set of 19” wheels for my 575. I currently have the 18’s.
    I am not sure if there is a source for these at the moment. There seems to be some available through eBay but I am not sure whether these aftermarket copies are well made and with the Fiorano Handling Package on my car does that require a certain specific wheel. I have spent entirely too much time on this and would appreciate any advice as to aftermarket verses OEM.
    If anyone has bought wheels from a specific company that would be valuable information.
    Thank you.

    430 wheels are close
    Front is 7.5" so needs 235 tires
    Not too expensive

    F430 wheels are too narrow for Maranellos. FHP 575Ms were available with 18" and 19" wheels, just like the vanilla 575Ms. No difference until you got to HGTC, where the fronts had cuts in the rim to accommodate 398 mm CCMs. The 19" OEM modulars are very expensive. Chris (Exoticar) had repro sets for sale that were very nice, but not sure if he has any left. They were about half the price of the OEM modulars.

    There are literally dozens of threads on Maranello wheels.

    @Depreciating Asset to the floor please.

    He had a nice source for this style in a 1 piece if you are looking for the look and increased wheel width (for more tire). Not OE, but a fraction of the cost.

    If you are open to other styles, let me know and I can connect you to a trusted wheel guy I have known for 20+ (I used to be in the biz) years. He owns Wheel Experts ( HRE Wheels in Dallas | Wheels For Sale in Dallas | Wheel Experts Wheel Experts ) and has helped a lot of buddies with custom set-ups.

    We have 19" front and 20" rear HREs: (I would 100% recommend this set-up in sizes as it looks perfect on the car IMHO)

    "This style" = the OE Modular style.

    Thank you for the info. I think those wheels are handsome. I am stuck on 5 spoke wheels for a Ferrari. Some friends actually refer to me as "5-Spoke".
    I am totally on board for a different wheel as long as it has five spokes.
    I would love to talk to the expert.

    There's a few nice sets of Hamann PG3's in Ferrari spec on eBay at the moment. Otherwise companies like BCForged will make a set for you in your exact specification from any design in their catalogue

    That is exactly the wheel I am looking for.
    Are those 19’s or 20’s?

    Lots of 19in options: I would reach out to this site sponsor/vendor:
    https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-genuine-oem-wheel-sets.682930/page-7#post-149737904

    Personally I like Hamann wheels more than OEM modular wheels...cheaper to buy but better (weight/loading/durability) the the OEM modulars.

    Regarding OEM 430 wheels - Taz is correct, running a 7.5in front (aka 430 front) wheel on a 550/575/456 is ill-advised given the load rating + max tire size rating. Not that 16M and select Scuderia Front wheels were 8in and forged construction...they are adequate load rating but are still limited to only a max size 245mm wide. While you can run a 245 as a modern high quality 245 easily can closely match a late 90s spec 255 in terms of performance, IMHO a 255 is still ideal.

    Oh I might as well add, IIRC the above Hamanns have the more desirable 11.5e34 rears which are perfect for our cars....with 15mm spacers the outer edge is about the as you get with OEM wheels + 25mm spacers but without the added wheel bearing wear or handling change.

    FWIW. I will also be selling a set of Novitec NF2 19in wheels this fall.

    Picked these up last year, aside from the significant esthetic improvement I was surprised by how much it improved the overall handling performance of the car. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Any opinions on running 20” wheels and tires on the 575? Anybody here have any experience with this? Same offset and wheels widths as 19’s. Just curious.

    We run a 19" front and 20" rear on the 550. I would do the same if I was ordering wheels again.

    Brad, is that your beautiful blue 550 in the picture above? If so, I am assuming that the fronts are 19’s and the backs are 20’s. If so, that looks really good.
