We take very little notice to the statement “there are levels to this industry” as it mainly comes from people complementing their ego, we have no problem with people blowing their own trumpet as long as its in a dignified and classy and way, and when we talk of keeping it classy we only have to look at one of our wheel manufacturers Hyper Forged wheels Japan and their latest build project, Ferrari’s pinnacle the beautiful LaFerrari and this one is just absolutely sublime.

The La Ferrari is already stunning to look and to some it a pretty impossible task to enhance the look of this Italian thoroughbred, but not to Hyper Forged, they seem to take modifying these hyper cars in their stride, with this example being dressed in the all new HF LMC forged 3 piece wheel with Centre lock application in sizes and widths 10.5x20 front & 12.5x22 rear with concave profile, matt black finish to face and inner and outer rim halves with exposed hardware, wrapped in 285/25R20 & 335/25R22 Michelin tyres front and rear respectively, it certainly enhances this beauty with a race look and its one of if not the best converted La Ferrari we have seen to date.

For any details on this wheel build or any of the Hyper Forged Wheel range, get in touch with us for more details.


The Ferrari 488 is one of the world’s most beautiful cars, Ferrari never seem to fail they produce the most aesthetically pleasing looking cars, new models always better than the one they are to replace, look at the model line up, 348, 355, 360 Modena, F430, 458, all stunning examples, with each one better than the one it replaced, in every detail, so you would think with something so beautiful it would be difficult to make any improvements on the look of a factory Ferrari, well you would be wrong.

A couple of areas you can make improvements is the stance and the wheels, like they say wheels maketh the car and its true even with the mighty looking Ferrari models. with this particular example has being re-shoed with our Hyper Forged LC5 which has enhanced its beauty to another level.

The finish chosen was Brushed Anodised Black, with anodised Matte Black outer inner and outer barrels, with titanium hardware, in sizes 9.5x21 and 12.5x22 wrapped in 255/30R21 and 335/25R22 Pirelli Tyres front and rear respectively.

Ferrari 488 GTB Fitted with Hyper Forged LC5 Matte Black

 

The Ferrari F40 is quite possibly the best Ferrari to date, well it certainly is as far as we are concerned at VAD, it’s a timeless design, pure beauty and if we look at the F40 in LM form, it’s both beauty and aggression, it really is a breathtaking piece of automotive art, from any viewing point its mouth watering, So the thoughts of modifying one, would take some balls right.

For the purist talk of modifying Ferrari’s pinnacle simply shouldn't happen , and to be honest, some part of us does agree, but things have moved on a lot since its launch, and there are many areas that can be tastefully modified and improved, the suspension for one, along with the brakes, a lot has changed in those areas over that last 20 years, so the improvements in that area are well worth doing, then we get to the wheels, although we like the classic speedline design, it suits the F40 perfectly, but again in this area technology has moved on quite a bit, so improvements can be made in this area too, not only with the material used, but also the design of wheel, and choosing the right design can really enhance the look of the 80’s icon, and if you don’t think it’s possible to make the F40 even more beautiful, then feast your eyes on this stunning piece of art, from our wheel partners Hyper Forged Wheels in Japan.

This particular F40 has been treated to some jaw dropping upgrades, brakes, suspension and the LM aero, with the later completing the finished look, whilst obviously adding not just style, but aerodynamic enhancements too, just looking at these pictures makes the hairs on the neck and arms stand to attention, its such an enticing car.

To complete the look, the owner,chose a brand new set of Hyper Forged LC5 centre locks, that have been machined and to perfection, and it’s at this part of the conversion opinions will differ.

The design for us is right on the money, the LC5 is the perfect design for the F40, the matte black finish also hits the sweet spot, and whilst the design is perfect the size of the wheels used may cause some debate, as the original F40 had 8x17 > 235/35R17 or 245/40R17 front, with 13x17 > 335/35R17 rear, where as this build has been fitted with 10x19 > 255/30R19 Front and 13x20 > 345/25R20 Rear, we would of preferred to see the same set up, but with 18” front and a 19” rear set up with a more forgiving tyre sidewall.

No doubt about it, it takes a brave owner to not only modify one of Maranello’s finest, after all it was the last Ferrari to get the Enzo Ferrari seal of Approval, but also to go against the grain, by fitting such a large wheel and tyre set up, but we say Kudos to the owner for a job well done, its a beauty and we love it.
