These have to be the most interesting wheels seen on any Ferrari tuning project. We’re guessing the German tuner Graf Weckerle thinks these are hot wheels, however I would never put something like this on my car. The “fleur-de-lis” hot wheel design should definitely not be fitted on a Ferrari 458 Italia. They will be sure to catch the eyes of people passing by, and hopefully the only person who drives this car is a female. It is said that this Ferrari 458 features a sport exhaust system, lowering kit, and engine tuning to bring the output past 600 horsepower. However, that still doesn’t change the fact that it looks like a girly car with these flower-type hot wheels.

The Canadian tuners at SR Project have released a godly kit for the Ferrari 458 Italia called Zeus. Based in Vancouver, the tuning firm added a new aero package to the 458 Italia, consisting of a front lip spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler and gloss black roof. One of the most noticeable modifications to the Ferrari is the stunning set of Forgiato Aguzzo rims, measuring 21-inches up front, and 22-inches at the rear. Finally, SR Project went with Novitec Rosso lowering springs to drop the sports car for suspension tuning.

The guys at Anderson Germany have blacked out the Ferrari 458 Italia with some interesting tuning. The exotic sports car features a new hood, dark tint, yellow brake calipers, and 21-inch alloy rims along with carbon fiber accents. A carbon fiber diffuser rounds out the rear, while the interior received new Alcantara upholstery, more carbon fiber, and an expensive sound system. The Ferrari 458 is no slouch in the performance department, however Anderson Germany decided to boost the numbers with an ECU upgrade and high performance exhaust system. These modifications allow the Ferrari 4.5-liter V8 engine to produce 623 PS and 636 Nm of torque. Hit the jump for more pictures!

Check out this Ferrari 599 GTO Bi-Kompressor from the tuning firm Novitec Rosso. They fitted the V12 engine with two superchargers, boosting the power numbers from 670 hp to 888 horsepower. Torque received an increase from 620 Nm to 860 Nm, howeve these figures are anything special. They were only able to make the Ferrari 0.15 seconds faster for the 0 to 100 km/h time at 3.2 seconds. The top speed was slightly increased to 340 km/h, which is still quick, but we have seen quicker. However, the styling on the exterior of this car is stunning.

Another great tuning work has been released by the guys at Manosory called the Siracusa and based on the Ferrari 458 Italia. The modified sports car features a new front apron with inlets, new bonnet, side skirts, and integrated ducts all made from carbon fiber. This shaves off 70 kg, while the rear window was swapped out with carbon fiber blades. The Ferrari 458 Siracusa is powered by the 4.5-liter V8, and named after a town in Sicily known for its historic race track. Power upgrades to the powerplant increased the figures to 590 PS and 560 Nm of torque, and consist of an ECU tuning remap, new air filter, and sport exhaust system.
