    Anyone else think the challenge wheels should be for challenge cars including Stradale and not just slap it on the others? IMO they're possibly rethinking the star shaped jobs and don't want them to take away the focus on the 599 so they threw on the challenge wheels.

    I also don't like it when wheels are homogonized from model to model (ie: Porsche).

    However the Challenge wheel lends an elegance to the 599 that the other wheel doesn't.

    I was actually wondering what a set of the Novitec's or other "nice" aftermarket wheel would look like.

    Photoshop anyone?

    Those are a little different then the CS wheels, and they are larger 20"ers.

    Personally, I PREFER the star wheels.

    I really hate the star wheels, so I think these are a big improvement. And I obviously like the Challenge wheels on the 430 also, since I ticked that box when ordering my car. They're lighter and stronger, and I didn't spend a lot of time worrying about whether they were "appropriate".

    i believe the star shaped wheels are 19's upfront and 20's in the rear. the challenge rims on the 599 are 20's front and rear!
