Nutek Wheels – Ferrari 458 Italia “The Dark Prince”

When Top Gear reviewed the new Ferrari 458, Jeremy Clarkson hailed it as the “best Ferrari in recent years.”  Certainly a testament to modern engineering as the 458 was just a tenth-of-a-second behind the Enzo on their test track.

Wheel companies have it rough nowadays.  New cars, especially supercars, are being designed and built with already near-perfect setups.  It’s a tall order to attempt improving it.

Nutek Wheels set out to do this on the 2011 Ferrari 458.  This very special example looks menacing in black, which comes with a special-ordered custom paint trim on the interior and emblems.

To accent the car, Nutek decided to fit a set of fully forged three-piece 505 series wheels.  Measuring at 20″ x 9″ in the front and 20″ x 12″ in the rear, this configuration was designed to work perfectly with the factory recommended tires, and allows room for the owner to select a wider tire, if desired.

The final touch on this wheel setup is the finish; custom painted to match the blacked-out emblems of the car for this setup is truly one-of-a-kind.
