Amazing cars!! Thanks for posting. Is it just me or has ferrari always dropped the ball when it came to their rim designs? The challenge are generally pretty good, way better than stock, but cars like this SA and the 612 are just ruined by those ugly rims.

I actually think those wheels on the superamerica, F430, challenge (of course), and 5-spoke on 612 are the most beautiful rims on production cars today. My favorite wheels have to be the 360CS challenge wheels, but a close second is the wheel pictured on the superamerica, and I've also seen those on the 575 GTC and 360 Modena. Ferrari really makes gorgeous 5-spoke rims and Porsche thankfully has been able to come close with the 18" Carrera III and 19" Carrera classics.
Strangely, a lot of the Porsche owners here love the three piece BBS mesh/dish look, which is certainly very "race" like, but just doesn't do it for me. I've always loved one-piece five spokes the best.
Now if I can only get my hands on some carrera classics. =)
