    They look great! To me wheels can make or break a car, and those have always worked well!

    Novitec NF2, long out of production, but used sets pop up occasionally. Need 25 mm spacers in the rear on Maranellos or 456s.

    Novitec NF2 (Not OEM) Five Spoke, 19”, 5 X 108 mm

    Front 9J X 19 ET 28 mm, 33.6 lbs, Rear 12.5J X 19 ET 51 mm, 39.6lbs

    Shortly after I found these, I was PMed by someone who wanted to know if they could use them to create new molds. I recall their plan was to make the rears one inch narrower in order to fit a bit less aggressive rubber. Thus, not an exact replica, but perhaps more practical. They caught me a little late in the process, thus I couldn't help. I have not seen or heard any more in regard to the project since...

    We used the Hill Engineering 25mm spacers - same as every Maranello should really have, even for stock wheels...

    I love these wheels ! Enjoy in good health.

    I had looked into the replicating but in a narrower filament (11.5 vs 12.5) as to both save weight, negate the need for spacers, and improve tire selection (rears). However I ended up shifting focus to trying to optimize my Hamann and Modular wheels instead. If/when I finish that project I may come back to this, particularly if I hit a major road block with HGTC brake clearance the the Hamanns

    So...it was you who contacted me for sample wheels? Why not scrap the other projects and switch back to the NF2s? ;-) It's a much cleaner style...and looks like what a Ferrari should come with from the factory. Your ideas to to modify the rim width and offset are good ones!

    I think it may have been, as I recall, reaching out to someone with exactly that question. Honestly I would, if I wasn’t in so deep with the current project $$/time/space wise

    Just as a point of reference, my huge Mov'It ceramics with 6 piston calipers fit under the NF2 wheels. Tight, but they fit. Might be true of the PGIIIs, too, which are also 19x9J.

    Yep, I’m hoping. I mailed one of my spare Hamann wheels to a HGTC owner to do a clearance check for me. I’ll post what I find!

    If I parked outside in Scottsdale, I would have a guard dog, too! ;-)

    What color is your 456?

    I agree the Novitec wheels look better than the originals. IMO. I removed my original Modular’s and packed them away as they are impossible to replace if damaged. The Novitec’s are the perfect replacement.

    Those brakes look KILLER. I’ll bet they’re a big improvement. NLA?

    MOVit CCM Brakes are indeed NLA, tragically.
    They were a much better / more robust design then the early generation CCM brakes the 575 used.

    Seems I’m often a bit late to the party.

    ok, ok. I can’t complain, I’ve been pretty lucky in my searches :)

    Been thinking about going black. Yours are the first I have seen. Can you take a full daylight out of shadow pic if you get the chance? Thanks.

    It looks like the same color as my 550, which is Blue Sebring - 503/C. I'm guessing that you may have the same color code...
