    The wheel, bolts, shape all looks very off to me, but I have not been keeping up with factory wheels for a while.

    Thank you for the assistance

    Looks like a '19 575 wheel to me. Is it one of the new remakes? They are not factory, but use the same design. If you look on the back, an original would have all the factory markings, while the reissue won't. Good luck trying to find an original set, BTW. You'd have to pry them out of a dead owner's hands.

    Affirmative, the Chinese "modular wheels" have cast bolts on their one piece rims. Designed mostly for 360s and F430s, they are 7.5" F and 10" R, too narrow for our V12s. They got away with calling them modular because the name of the company (actually one of many names associated with these) was Modular Wheel Company

    The Cavallino Rampante in the centre also looks a bit down on its luck in the copy.
