Daily dose of sexy brought to you by HRE Wheels, Ferrari 458 Italia

We've spilled equal parts ink and drool over the new Vintage Series wheels from HRE. The pieces invoke all sorts of bedroom poster memories from our misspent youth, and seeing them bolted to some of our favorite modern supercars is enough to invoke a guaranteed smile.

The guys at StanceWorks have featured a particularly moving combination. One Ferrari 458 Italia owner opted for a set of 505s in matte bronze as an homage to the legendary P4/5. The combination Ferrari red and those fat five spokes is absolutely sublime.

If you're rolling your eyes at the thought of yet another garage queen getting a new set of shoes, take heart in the knowledge that this particular 458 is owned by a gentleman who isn't afraid to put miles on the clock. In just three months, the owner has rolled the odometer up to 6,000 miles, which means this car has had the opportunity to stretch its legs on more than one occasion. Perfection.

Agreed, the finish does not fit the wheel. Here it is in silver:

The wheels design is made for Ferrari! just the color of the wheel doesn't really go with the color of the car..

Im not feeling them . i think the stocks look much nicer. I have seen 4 Ferrari 458s over the last month at car shows and it pretty much perfect in every sense of the word al ready.I drove along side a black one and I couldnt stop screaming like a girl, taking pics, and drooling

I can't hate on the guy.

He drives the car. It isn't a garage queen. And he made it his own.

Well done, buddy. Well done...

Not sure if I like that style on the car - but they were clearly trying to do an updated version of these I bet:

This would look great on an older Ferrari, but i can see where the idea came from.
