best color wheels for a black f430?

Gunmetal would look great on black you could do a Satin Finish with a Brushed lip.

ever give bronze a thought?

Or even Black face with Bronze Lips.

I like the NF3s as well. There is a pic on their site of a black 430 spider with brushed centers. I really like it. I cannot justify 13K+ on wheels and tires however.

Black car with all black wheels is a bit much for me.

 

I agree with blackbolt, no black wheels on black cars, at least Ferraris. They are too good looking for the murdered out look. My novitecs came to me used and powder coated black, I had them powder coated back to silver with no regrets.

 

NF3s are nice looking but twice the weight of the stock rims...

All show and no go...

 

I have these for sale. They look great on a black 430. I can send you more pics if you like.

My understanding is 38 lbs for fronts, 48 lbs for rears vs the 20-something weight for the stock.

Please do not post nonsense. NF3s are heavier than stock but do not weigh that much.

 

never liked the black on black look... brushed bronze looks nice and different.

 

This was the e-mail from the vendor, unless they mis-quoted or wanted to push the much lighter and more expensive NF4 single piece design. What say your 'sources'?

 

As requested...

Yes they are heavier, but they are also much wider. If were talking race car then the NF2's or NF3's would be a bad idea, weight savings on the corners is paramount in road racing and the lack of width can be made up with different compounds in race slicks.

Street cars are different. You can only get so much stick out of a DOT tire, so more width adds the grip you don't see with the stock very narrow wheel tire combo. I'm not saying the weight doesn't hinder the performance in rotating mass and suspension rebound, but the extra grip offsets it IMO. After all these are street cars, how hard are you going to push it?

So your "all show and no go" comment isn't exactly accurate.

 

I just put these on very OEM feel and light..adv

I think Ferrari got it right the first time with the Challenge Wheels on black!
(I know..... there are a few others out there just like mine)

Are these the Challenge Stradale wheels in 19"?

 

Yes

 

Yes, NF2's are one piece.

 

Agree - I have the same on my 08 black on black Berlinetta with yellow calipers and CCB. In my opinion after market wheels just cheapen the look!

 

Very nice ! Are those 20s or 21s at the rear ?

 

Agreed...
