Default Wheels Boutique – Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Italia x ADV.1 (Purists need not click)

Let’s get the disclaimer out of the way: this Ferrari 458 Italia is not for the purists nor the faint of heart. We understand those who take pride in keeping their prized possessions in the same condition that it left the factory, but there is also a place for those who want to make their rides truly unique. Every car owner has a say in what they want and we provide that for them as it is their right. This time around, “outrageous” was the call for this prancing horse. This Ferrari has the distinction of being the only Liberty Walk Widebody equipped 458 to sport 22” rears. Those enormous wheels out back come in the form of ADV5 Track Spec SL’s finished with a matte gunmetal face and body colored matching lips. This Italian thoroughbred may not be for everyone, but something tells me it was purposely created to be that way.

Wheel Specs:
ADV5 Track Spec SL
21”x10” // 22”x13”
Finish: Matte Gunmetal Face
Color Matched Lips
Tires: Pirelli P Zero
Font: 245/30/21
Rear: 335/25/22

** Only Liberty Walk 458 Widebody with 22” rears **

I think: "The person who did that is probably stupid. How did a stupid person get so much money? Inheritance? Organized crime? Or are they smart at business, but dumb in other ways?"

Sorry, but you asked.

It's not about being a purist... that just looks like crap.

By the way, when you strip away all of the incredible cheesiness, the underlying wheel design is very classic and nice.

I'm generally a big liberty walk fan; but on this particular car I feel it's missing an element; maybe a rocker splitter with a vertical aeleron also in body color. The kit style works great on hard edge lambos but I think it needs that one tying style on the smoother Ferrari to carry that race theme through. Maybe it's due to the exposed rivets only seen in the front and rear.

I also dig the rocket bunny style wing. Wheels are on point and the car as a whole is pretty stunning. I always wonder what others cars look like when judging with such a critical eye, so even I'm a bit hesitant; but I am a designer by trade so...lol

No need to be sorry. Everyone has a say remember?

We're glad that the ADV.1 wheels are getting their fare share of notice as well. Lot's of hard work was put into the manufacturing of it

I'll be sure to price check a new keyboard and deduct it from your order price

This. And who painted it? That paint isn't even close to matching. If I can see it on my iPad, I can't imagine what it looks like in person.

I was not aware that Bushwacker made flares for exotics. Huh, Learn something every day.
