    You can get new center caps from Ricambi. They are a little brighter yellow for the new ones from Ferrari or Ricambi. The older style has been discontinued, but you can find "new old stock" around (most times at a price premium). If too high a price just get the new ones & change all 4 out.

    Personally, and its just my opinion, the new ones are miles and miles nicer than the old plastic ones. The aluminum shroud on the cap has a more detailed horse with crisper colors -- and can't crack/craze like the old ones. The steel retaining ring also provides a more secure fit into the wheel.

    Daniel,

    I agree that the new style is a better fit/design! I have a Red set of the new ones on my summer wheel/tire package (18" 360 Starfish wheels) & they dress her up like a stripper in Red High-Heeled F-Me Pumps!

    True, but the OP was talking of needing 3 so I was just letting him know that the color is different so all 4 have to be replaced.

    This is the actual color of the caps from recambi. They look amazing compared to the original lighter yellow ones. Going to the Michelin PS2 is a good move. Best tire out there. Try 295 35 back and 235 40 fronts.

    I bought a set from Daniel at Ricambi ages ago.

    They are excellent quality as described above.

    SOO That seems like a larger tire (sorry a novice)... Will those fit on Standard OEM F355 GTS Rims?? If so whats the benefits?, Rubbing issues? Overall thoughts.

    Thanks!!
