I don't think I'd have bought another set of wheels if the first set hadn't been free :lol:

A mate of mine just got a 488 pista which is mega. I never knew how much the carbon wheels he just added were. I'd be parking it nowhere near a kerb thats for sure.

They're nice - are they painted carbon? Usually I would have thought carbon fibre wheels would just be lacquered to show off what they're made of.

Oh, I don’t really use Instagram 😄
I think the originals are nicer 🤐

Yeah I prefer the more slender spokes of the forged originals.

Edit - also the bastard who fitted the new wheel didn’t put the centre cap in the correct position.
How about not having a sig at all?

I often accidentally fit the centre cap on the rim too.

Guess how much they are? But then the car was quite a lot as well.

I reckon it’s closer to that per wheel.

Another “I prefer the original wheels” here too.

And I am not sure how much I trust CF for a wheel. Metal tends to bend. CF tends to shatter into twelvety bazillion pieces….

So those are official ferrari wheels?

They look a bit Halfords, honestly :?

Just over £36k is a fair chunk of carbon vanity. :shock:

Quite expensive even in comparison to the base price of the car.

Would be quite annoying to kerb one.
