Ferrari 458 with $1M wheels still hasn't found a buyer [w/video]
Wheels for that much $$?




Quote:
Rule number one of modifying a car: When it comes time to sell, people want to pay for the car, and could care less how much you spent in the aftermarket. This is a lesson that the guys at Latitude Wheels in Miami are currently learning.

The wheel company's "flagship show car," a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia was put up for sale on eBay weeks ago, as reported by Jalopnik. The price? Just a shade under $1.3 million. For a 458 Italia. That normally starts around $230,000. Yeah.

Latitude justifies the car's price based on a very expensive set of wheels. To be exact, the 21-inch fronts and 22-inch rears are forged Vossen Precision Series wheels. Mounted on Pirelli rubber, Latitude claims the package is worth over $1 million. Add onto that the $20,000 in Novitec Rosso carbon fiber pieces – none of the fun, performance stuff Novitec is known for – and you come to an eBay starting price of $1,290,000.

The auction closed on Wednesday night, without so much as a bid. Check out the promotional video Vossen put together below.

Vossen must be really hurting for money. The car is for sale on their Facebook page for 285k.

I guess they're hoping for another idiot with too much money but it hasn't panned out....yet
and this might be one of the reasons why it didn't sell

At 1mil, the rims are more expensive than even F1 rims.

I remember reading the breakdown on building a Ferrari F1 car and the most expensive part (engine) was around 800k.

And F1 parts are already absolutely nuts in pricing... The rear spoiler was a $280k piece of carbon fiber...

Why would you buy a set of wheels for $1mil? If you're paying that much for a set of wheels, you've got way too much money to spend.

Thread title is misleading. The rims DIDN'T cost a million dollars guys. The facebook page says the wheels cost about $8500.

The company however is putting an approximately million dollar mark up on top of the vehicle because it has wheels and some other aero.

I hope the company selling the car goes out of business, and the car gets taken by the bank.
