Not bad, I would've left the cap yellow, but it looks great in titanium. I wonder how it would look in the Scuderia bronze finish.

Looks great, agree though that the center cap would look better yellow....

Chris- You sure those are not just the OZ Racing Mito Rosso wheels that come in matt finish with polished rims? Same as HGTE wheel except for the finish. Incidentally, they make 19" sizes, too, for 360s, 430s, and, with spacers, the 456/550/575.

Looks like the OZ caps, too.

Wow...they almost look identical to the HGTE rims. Perhaps Ferrari buys the HGTE rims from OZ just like they buy the challenge-style rims from BBS?

Carlo- Affirmative, they do. I have been trying to find out if you can order them in the diamond bright finish of the HGTE wheels to fit my 575M. They are only abut $1000 each in 19" sizes and a little more for 20" wheels here in the US. Most likely cheaper in Italy.

$1000 per rim is actually quite good.

If you bought the same rim directly from Ferrari you would probably be paying three times as much (if not more).

With the weak dollar, I doubt that they're cheaper in Italy.

I'm never a fan of wheels where the rim is chrome/silver and the spokes are a darker colour, and this is no exception.

Especially doesn't work on black cars because you see it all the time.

Rims look great. IMO the calipers would look better in silver with the rims. Would also look better with your titanium centre caps IMO

Me, too. Not fond of black wheels or colored wheels in general. Or chromed wheels. OZ may have a deal with Ferrari not to sell the diamond silver finish wheels except to them. Cannot see where it would make any difference in 19" sizes, though.
