    Hi, I have just purchased my first ever Ferrari! It is a Rosso Corsa F430 Spider, being a bit of a car enthusiast (like the rest of my family), i am loving it. However i am not so keen on the wheels on the car which are currently the standard double spoke silver F430 wheels. I am looking for a bit of an upgrade but not at a cost much over £1500. But it seems harder than I initially thought it would be.

    I would love to here some of your ideas, and thought this would be a great place to share thoughts/opinions on wheel options for the F430.

    So far I love, BBS FI, Vossen forged, and ADV.1 But haven't seen many more suitable designs?

    I have been searching for a while and also found this document which states the wheel bolt patterns, as i had my heart set on a set of 458 Italia wheels, however they will not fit the closest I can get is a set of rare 16M wheels :(

    have you looked into Forgestar F14s? They are significantly cheaper than ADVs but are just as light. However, others have commented on their build quality issues but not rampant so seems luck of the draw.

    You all be real careful of the quality of after market wheels if u are ever going to be on the track - its not real pretty when a wheel comes apart

    Hiya, thanks for the reply, sorry did not realize i had a response!
    Those wheels do look great, but could you elaborate on the problems, as in finish, or in more importantly structurally?

    Paint them black or dark grey, or look for a set of Challenge wheels.

    In the end I purchased a set of Genuine Full sized Scuderia Wheels, had all 4 powder coated together as they were purchased separately! Fit is amazing, however I will need 10MM wider tires on front and back now
