the new 997 wheels are some of the ugliest standard wheels on an auto today. The 458 wheel is a classic 5 spoke alternative design. I like them. JMHO.

The 458 and California feel as if Ferrari hired a new designer

That front bumper still needs help...

The three tail pipes look good, but to me it's kind of like putting an AMG badge on a C350, or someone who puts a Peterbilt logo on a light duty truck since it's a cue from the F40 but a) it's not turbocharged and b) it's not an F40. As good as they look, they are still poseur to me.

Other than that it looks good.

I can't wait to see and read the first reviews of this car. I think it will be crazy fast.

I think it is killer. Not sure about the wheels & I don't like the duplicated horse on the front but everything else is sweet....and I miss the shields.

First immediate thought for the wheels was 512M. but better, those wheeks were gross

and I love the car, cant wait to see it with mods and options in real cars
