    Anyone know if there is a good website cataloging the wheels options? Just not sure what styles / finishes will be available to order!!

    Pretty sure it's the same choices as the coupe. Why would it be any different? Stock, Sport wheels, darker Sport wheels, Diamond Cut Sport wheels, maybe the BBS GTO type?

    As Matty says, the wheel options are the same as for the coupe and he has listed them correctly. It's a shame that there are no other more exciting looking wheels (such as BBS).. the (no cost) standard ones look awful and the forged ones aren't that sexy... and from my experience the diamond finish is very difficult to repair if you scuff/scratch them (as I found out from my Aston N400)..

    All you have to do is look through the 458 Italia picture thread, or you can get on Dupont Registry online and look at the 458's for sale. You will see every wheel, except the BBS on actual cars.

    IMO, the stock wheels really need to be put out to pasture, or maybe just the designer of them?

    The sport wheels. The finish with the machined/dark inner edges of spokes are the diamond finish. There is also a diamond finish for the California.

    Be aware that plenty of guys, me included like the standard wheels, especially the shadow chrome standard wheels which were chosen over the sport wheels.

    There are even some special wheels you can get if you are willing to go to the Atelier. I was offered a sport wheel with a color matched line on the inside rim, kind of looked cool but I couldn't get over how much of the inner wheel, ie brake caliper and disc are visible with the sport wheel so I passed. I also saw another wheel that is offered on the FF and just about took that option over the standard but then when I saw the standard in shadow chrome in real life, well lets just say I had to have them, and I did:)

    The shadow chrome wheel does really look good IMHO.
