    While I like the Speciale wheels, I feel there’s a very good chance I’ll ‘LOVE’ the Pista wheels! Has anyone else been pondering this? Could it be done? Probably thinking more the standard wheel in a Speciale Grey colour than the CF wheel but they could be enticing once I see them in the flesh.

    (Would still keep my Speciale wheels in the garage of course)

    The Pista's wheels seem to be the same size as the GTB's (no increase, unlike between 458 and Speciale - so the sizes are identical to those of the Speciale), but the offsets may be different.

    The tracks (front and rear) are exactly the same for the Pista and the GTB, since the dimensions (wheels and tyres) are also exactly the same I'd guess the Pista wheels also have the same offsets as the 488 GTB (which are different from the Speciale IIRC).

    Just no. Be happy with what your Speciale is - no need for the "keep up". Speciale is Speciale - Pista is Pista.

    Wow, you really like those Pista wheels? This is actually the only thing I dislike about this car.

    Don’t get me wrong. You won’t find a bigger advocate for the Speciale than me. I sold my house,moved three suburbs to buy the car!

    Brand new Pista in my preferred spec or my 6000km Speciale and I’ll take my car everyday. I’ve just always been a fan of 10 spoke wheels on almost any car (yes I know Speciale has 10 spokes but to my eye it’s really 5). I’d have them painted Speciale grey and most definitely keep the OEM wheels to change them out every few years for a ‘new look’ every so often.

    Beauty is in the eye and all that...

    I have an extra set of Pista wheels that I’d like put on my Speciale. Does anyone know how that would be possible? Would I need to add spacers?
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, if you have them already, why don\t you just try to mount them and see what happens?

    Offsets are different.

    my view is if you want 10 spoke then get a nice aftermarket one from a brand like HRE. Get an OEM+ kind of look.

    If offsets are different, can I add spacers to compensate?
