The base C8 rim is almost good. The little "bumps" they left around the outside of the wheel are terrible. IMHO

No way you can compare the C8 base wheel with the Ferrari wheel. The C8 doesn't come close, the Ferrari is a quality wheel.

Its not the quality comparison its the aesthetic I assume he's talking about.

Compare the Ferrari wheel with the C8 base AND all the other wheel choices you see with C8....the base comes closest to this Ferrari.

Since base C8 wheels appear as low end knock-off's, can anyone advise where they are made? My guess is Mexico or China. Certainly not Italy but I am also curious where Ferrari wheels originate from. But regardless of where made, C8 wheels are made to GM specs which includes design.
