Hello FC, can anyone ID these wheels and or manufacture. Thanks in advance. Jingle Image Unavailable, Please Login
Kind of look like these https://www.motegiracing.com/product/wheels/mr130-techno-mesh/?attribute_pa_finish=satin-black or these https://www.motegiracing.com/product/wheels/mr120-techno-mesh-s/?attribute_pa_finish=satin-black Hope this helps!
Thank you CAS that help tremendously, Now I know the manufacture. I wasn't sure what that symbol on the wheel was. Cheers. Jingle!
They were Motegi MR130 and are now Rotiform ZMO. They are a low cost cast wheel not a forged wheel. They weight a ton...like 35 or so lbs each...super heavy, performance robbing stupid heavy is the way it was explained to me. They are made to look like the wheels the Ferrari Challenge cars use but construction wise they are different. I looked into them and passed.
Congratulations, I hope you got it from the place in San Carlos instead of LA. They both posted same car. I just bought a 13 less then 2 weeks ago too. What city do you live in?
Indeed I did - got it in San Carlos, pretty excited. Congrats to you as well! Currently living in Marin County On the wheels, it looks like there was a custom forged version done, from what I can tell? Not fully sure again since they were on the car when I got it https://teamspeed.com/forums/458-430-360/71633-like-ferrari-458-gt3-wheels-then-you-ll-love-one-cec.html
Do you plan on modifying ur 458? I just lowered mine on Novitec and now I need exhaust and wheels. I got the stock wheelw on mine. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I do quite like the wheels that came on my car, and my car came lowered as well. Wish the wheels were slightly smaller (20 front, 21 rear) but not enough to change it Similar to you, I think exhaust is likely next. Trying to decide whether I'd be happy with the Forza controller to be able to leave the valves open at lower rpm, or whether I want to spring for an exhaust that gives a higher pitch. Separately I think I want to get a dealer to add the cruise control / pit speed module. I pretty much drive with cruise control 75% of the time I'm on a highway so have already felt like I'm missing it with my car Otherwise, I'm probably going to do some cosmetic cleanups. Currently working on cleaning up some of the sticky buttons in the interior haha. There are some rock chips on the hood I'd like to take care of, and maybe get a paint correction done
I wish my wheels were bigger. I will get 21/22s for mine. Your wheels do look good on it. I dont think mine has cruise control either. Let me know how much that is going to cost.
Will do - probably will see if I can tough it out for a few months, but likely will start asking around if not
In case you guys were wondering, I got a chance to measure the weight of these wheels. Front wheel + tire was 52lb, and rear wheel + tire was 66lb. Looking at the Pirelli P Zero spec sheet with the front tire being 26lb and rear being 36lb, it implies the wheels are 26lb and 30lb respectively.
Would be interesting for sure - this thread has some stock wheel weights but not the style of wheel currently on your car. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/ferrari-458-factory-wheel-weight-comparison.525346/ I calculated for my car there is a 7lb penalty per wheel+tire for the fronts, and 8lbs per wheel+tire for the rears, compared to the optional 5 spoke diamond cut forged wheels. On the plus side I'm going from a 235 to a 255 in the front and 295 to a 335 in the rear so getting more grip out of it. The weight penalty for wheels / tires vs. on the body is about 2:1 per the physics calculations, so I'm reasonably content with an equivalent ~60lbs increase in body weight, given the nice appearance of the 21/22s and increased tire widths http://hpwizard.com/rotational-inertia.html
Hello guys so here is the weight on my stock and aftermarket wheels with tires: 458 italia (base wheels) wheels and tires: Front: 50.4 lbs Rear: 61.05 lbs ADV1 3 piece 21/22 wheels and tires Front: 60.2 lbs Rear: 69.2 lbs Tires that I am using on the adv1 wheels are a lot wider then the tires on the factory wheels. 255/30/21 front 335/25/22 rears So the tires also add weight been bigger and wider. I plan on using titanium lug bolts to shave some weight. Image Unavailable, Please Login
7lbs is a lot. I've read adding 10lbs would slow the vehicle's 0-60 by a half second. There are plenty of articles online about it. If you care about performance or plan on tracking the car, I would ditch those boat anchors.
