    So my awesome ultra violet GT3RS is gone and I replaced it with a very beautiful 15' 458 Spider. The spider is rolling on HRE wheels and a set of Novitec sport springs. Had to sell the GT3RS. It had the carbon sport seats and due to a wicked bad broken leg it was so painful getting in and out of it. The 458 will be here tommorrow evening. I'm pretty pumped to get the back into a 458. I now have 7 black cars!!! Hopefully the 458's yellow calipers will bring some color into the garage. I think I'm going to powder coat the HRE either gold or bronze. Any thoughts?

    Congrats, the 458 is a fantastic car!! It will fit nicely with your collection. Love the CLKBS, I have a C63BS and think I might add a CLK one day.

    Congrats!

    I’d stick with the black wheels. I don’t think those color wheels ever look good personally...

    Wish I had more garage space. Black is bad ass. Good luck with the new purchase.

    I would go for gold wheels (or bronze). It's by far the best match for a black body. Black with gold wheels looks so awesome!

    PS: you'd have to change the caliper colour, yellow with gold is not a nice combination. Best would be black calipers.

    GT3RS is a absolutely sic track car. The sport seats though awesome for the track totally suck for the street. My 458 Spider has the carbon sport seats and they are wicked comfortable. Yes loving the Ferrari....once again.

    Great garage. Love the 458. I'd keep the wheels black. How do you time for all those fun machines. I had trouble getting around to drive my cars and I only had three. LOL
