    So I called a dealer and they told me my vehicle doesn’t have any open recalls. I called back and left a message asking them specifically about the wheels and if they had the ones that were recalled would they replace them. I didn’t hear back. Seems like a pretty dangerous predicament for them if anything were to happen. Anyone know whether they are required to replace the recalled wheels still?

    Yes.

    What makes you think you don't have the updated wheels?

    I replaced a lot of them and don't recall any difference to the back side. Which style lug bolt do you have and do your wheels have steel inserts for the lug bolts?

    If you have the early ones, yes they need to be replaced. They were recalled because they were a danger.

    So is the Ferrari dealer going to replace the old ones or is it a case by case deal? They don’t seem very friendly

    With the attitude you have shown here so far, I do not doubt they are not very friendly.

    Thanks Alan definitely the best price around. after contacting Ferrari dealer it seems they only replace one set per vehicle so if they've been replaced once in their system thats it.
