    Just took HREs off the f12. The car drove like absolute **** with aftermarket wheels on compared to stock wheels. How so many spend money to make their cars worse is beyond me.

    I do not like the skinny little rubber band sidewall looking tires. Plus less sidewall like this equals less performance and how the car handles over bumps, especially in a corner. All even in the dry the short/skinny sidewall will not flex enough to keep the entire tire flat on the pavement so you lose traction from a start or leaning the car into a corner.
    I did Novitec springs ( which are made by KW Spring) on a 488 I had. Put over 9000 miles on them with no issue but I did not have the car slammed...just lowered a little, kept the front to rear rake stock and alignment was stock but camber on the front was on the aggressive side of stock. Car handled great, even tracked it at Sebring on OEM size HRE 20" wheels with just a touch backspacing to bring them out to the fender edge but not too far like some do.
