Thanks guys for the comments, here's another picture I took today.



I don't really know what someone meant by they're different wheels maybe because the front are 20s and the rears are 22s?

These are definitely NOT knock offs. Those HREs are eight spoke and are not a concave center. That center is bowed on the HRE. To me that is like hanging out with the fellas and everyone has a Rolex on and I'm the only guy with an Audemars Piguet, you feel?

The guys at Interad really took care of me and made the experience feel real exclusive. I wouldn't get that from ordering HREs at the local wheel shop.

I like the spoke design and color, but damn those sizes are horrible... Why would you put a 22'' on a Ferrari?

Man, you only have 2 posts and both of them plug "Interad"....care to make it 3 for 3? Sounds like free advertising to me....personally, I don't care for the wheels.

File a complaint then bro. I just had a good experience with them and I've bought wheels from other companies where that has not been the case. Either way I'm happy with the wheels.

Yea originally I wanted to run just 20s but I just like the look of it and the ride is not horrible. I'm more than likely never gonna track it. I'm fortunate enough to have a car that I'll drive one day of the week on Sundays so I guess that factored into the going with 22s in the rear. I think it's a little flashy in size with a sport look of the centers. I dunno maybe it's an LA thing.

those wheels do look like the hres besides that yours are 7 spoke and not 8.

no one can deny that the car looks nice. setup on the other hand is a personal choice.
welcome to the boards

It's not an LA thing. I live in LA and wouldn't do that to an F430.

Don't mean to hate, but they're not my cup of tea. On a Chrysler 300C or something maybe, but not a Ferrari.

Wheels look good but like someone else said how come the fronts look different then the backs....F/bolts...R/No bolts or what every you call those dame things...Maybe it the size of the rears

Car looks great!!!

Congrats on the F430! Don't care for the wheels too much though.

I like the look, but no idea why you'd go with 22's in back and 20's in front. I'd think that might throw something off on the car somehow?
