The CE28Ns are a nice upgrade, they work rather well in my opinion.

Re: Ferrari 612

the CE28N's are quite a nice combo. either that or the split 5-spoke (is that from a ferrari?). the 4th one in the last picture.

Re: Ferrari 612

I like the CE28's underneath, they look really cool but I don't really like the others underneath a Ferrari, especially a 6 spoke rim. Please don't put that wing on it, IMO it doesn't suit the car. The body color looks fantastic though!

Re: Ferrari 612

If I may offer some well meant constructive criticism.

Seems to me that you haven't sanded off the mold lines on this kit. These will diminish the quality of your final build IMHO



If you are going to put time, effort and presumably money in modifying a model, it would make sense next time to spend some more effort on more basic and elementary things such as proper preparation of the body.

As for the wheels, I prefer the Volk CE28s

Itīs interesting how you find these things. Actually itīs unbelievable. Seriously - I thank you for all the members for you hawk eye!

As for the wheels - Iīd go with the box stock wheels. Pininfarina and Ferrari put some thought in choosing these. I see no point in taking something apart that only works as art in combination.

CE28's work best in my opinion. I like the colour you're going for. Also, good eye klutz!

Re: Ferrari 612

Factory stock wheels are the best IMO.

The factory wheels are the best, aren 't they... Please don't use the spoiler.
I follow the wip closely...
Good luck...

Re: Ferrari 612

I was going to mention that you forgot the mold line, but klutz beat me to it. I would go with the ce28s or stockies. Good luck.
