You just wanted a reason to say "hone", "hole", and "tear" in your post

Somebosy on Hobby Heaven (why someone who almost exclusively builds imports and Ferraris only posts there is beyond me) is building one and showed pics of the wheels/tires/engine and the wheels look too big on the model. I can't believe Fujimi went in the completely opposite direction on this one and made a set of wheels that are too big! Oh the horror

However, it could open up interesting alternatives to modern Ferraris that could possibly wear these bastard child rims...
