    F430 wheels

    Who thinks the stock 5 spoke wheels look a little weak on the car, even the stradale style rims don't seem to suit the car any better! I've just done a quick photoshop showing the car on some Novitech rims which makes the 430 look loads better. What do you think guys?

    Looks nice. I just dont think the split-design looks very butch.
    It's more nice than cool, if you know what I mean.
    But damn, the car looks nice.

    Re: F430 wheels

    The rear wheel looks kinda weak because of the angle.
    Cant reproduce a picture of a rim in the right angle in PS.

    Re: F430 wheels

    I like the standard wheels on the 430 better then the Stradale wheels. I think the Stradale wheels look best on the CS.
    I like the Novitech Rosso wheels even more. The spokes have more depth./ They're thicker and look cool with the single bolt.

    Yeah, I'd probably pick number 3 too, if I had the luxury problem of picking wheels for an F430

    Re: F430 wheels

    It strikes me..looking at this beauty I cant help thinking if only Porsche and Ferrari would co-design a car.
    Let Ferrari do the sideview, and Porsche the front and rear view...that would make a helluva car I think.

    Ok, it doesnt get more speculative and Sci-Fi-ish than that. LoL! But still

    Hehe...nah.
    What I mean is..Porsches dont look as good from the side as the Ferraris and Ferraris don't look as good from the front + rear ast the Porsches IMO..so maybe a little design-swapping would do the trick?

    Re: F430 wheels

    Personally, I like the Challenge wheels on the 430. The stock wheels are o.k., but you see very similar design wheels on so many other cars it kind of ruins them for me. And I like the fact the Challenge wheels are forged.

    Re: F430 wheels

    IMHO the Novitech wheels are very close to the standard rims, so no need to change them for that design.

    Phil, I don't really like any of your PS.

    I'm with STRADALE, as I prefer the standard wheel design to the Challenge rims. The standard wheels bring up a new design or at least a new variation of the classic five spoke design of Ferrari wheels. Moreover they are similar to the Enzo wheels. They look good to me!

    Sure, if you can find a picture of the wheels from a similar angle as the Ferrari.
    I cant find any other pics of the SE model anywhere...

    Sounds good.
    Or a jointly built car. That would be an automotive project for the ages.

    suggestions are not bad, but i would prefer leaving the car original at most the stradale wheels would provide an agressive look.
