    So I'm toying with getting new wheels for the 599 - I have the challenge wheels on it now, and I like them, but I really like the GTO look... but don't want to spend $20K on a set of wheels... I'm really looking for wheels that have that GTO look, but not the huge cost... $3Kish would be my range... I'll keep the Challenge wheels... so just want to update the look a bit.... thoughts?

    I've looked at HRE, only one set I like but not sure they fit the 599- it does not come on on their website. I like some of the BBS wheels but then the Cost is $$$$... love to see alternatives ...

    was thinking about 812 twist wheels but have not seen them on the 599... not sure...

    Hi

    First
    Your 599 looks great with the spacers and lowered suspension you have.
    Similar to mine, I had.


    Your US companies for wheels (HRE, ADV1, ANKRY, Vossen, Velos, ..) have great designs for the Ferrari models, but when you want forged models they get not cheap.

    BBS has nothing for the 599, except the originals.

    Going with F12/812 rims is a good solution, the strength is the same and the measures are similar to the GTO rims.
    So look for the best design and you can fit them, check if possible directly or with some spacers.

    Terry has a good overview with the measurements.

    And here is a small excel sheet from me to calculate the different variants.

    The twisted 812 rim is same to the TDF rim

    Daniel's (@DZ-96) 599 wore the better looking (IMO) GTO variants with the wider spokes. You should inquire if his are still available!
