It is only a matter of time before one or two of the 499 people who bought a LaFerrari decide they need a set of high-end wheels like HRE or ADV1 for their cars. But the guys at HRE Wheels couldn’t wait and commissioned this rendering you see here.

The picture shows a red Ferrari LaFerrari fitted, virtually, with a set of HRE 301M rims. The center-lock wheels are pretty high-end, no doubt, but the finish is pretty ordinary for this car and to be honest doesn’t look very special. Still, they are better than those rather hideous standard wheels Ferrari supplies for this multi million dollar hyper car.

Some people, mostly car geeks, argue that you shouldn’t change the wheels on a car with levels of performance like the Ferrari. They say bigger wheels and different tires will upset the balance and the perfect tune the engineers have worked so hard to arrive at. And they do have a point. But ordinary people care more about the way things look than a minuscule differences in performance.
