Very nice pics!
They're very rare and hard to find, buyers snap them up quickly.

I still like this 575 I did the wheels for when I was at HRE.
This was before 20s were as common as they are now.
I did 20x10 front with 285/30-20 and 20x12 rear with 345/25-20.
No modifications, no rubbing...

They don't make em like that no more the 550/575 were so elegant.

You know 550s are going for 60-90k now right? I wish I was financially better off right now

This is funny to me. I've not been on this board in years because in 2008 I moved from Lexus/Toyota to BMW, Audi/Porsche, Maserati/Ferrari.

I was Googling for some nice width/offets for my Maranello and came across this thread, so I had to log in.

I agree, the 599 is awesome, and now its successor, the f12, is even more amazing. I have two F355s... a F1 spider and a 3-pedal GTS, a 612 Scaglietti and a 550 Maranello. Of them all, I understand why the Maranello is considered the "Toyota" of Ferrari. It is by far the most trouble free of the ones I own... even the newer 612. I love the Maranello. Even more, I paid only $46k for it in 2010 (I bought all of these cars when the economy crashed in 2008/2009), and today you can't find one for less than $100k.

Oh well... back to my search. I just had to log in an comment when I came across this thread
