This may have posted before. I did a quick search and didn't find it. I was searching MediaMix Hobby site for what's new and came across 20" BBS rims from Hobby design. They look close to the Ferrari rims. I put in an order and will report back when I get them

Similar in design, but not the same unfortunately.

Might be able to adapt their wheel to this. Have to wait and see.

They do look very similar. I thought Hobby Design had answered my prayers for a minute there...... Why won't someone make a 20" BBS rim for my Ferrari 599...??? It's crying out for one, the standard wheels look so dull in comparison. I'm sure it would be a good seller.

Personally, I don't like the standard nor the BBS (although it is better). I've some nice Aoshima 20" that I think would work better and will likely use them.

I still ordered a set and will take 10 megapixel closeups to see what, if anything, can be done.

Nice to see the mounting options for the different kit manufacturers. I picked up a couple sets of HD030008 (http://www.mediamixhobby.com.sg/shop/hd030008-hobby-design-1-24-18inch-bbs-wheels-and-tyres.html) but was pretty dissapointed with the quality of the tires (didn't respond well to sanding, and werent staggered in size like the wheels were). Hopefully they used a different compound for these tires especially for the price. Too bad its the wrong diameter for the 599 as well...
