    I'm pretty sure Ferrari doesn't offer any colored rims for the 599. You have to get it done yourself after delivery.

    Thats rather unfair. I dont see how MS, JT and Massa would go and paint the wheels themselves.

    Tarek,
    Dark grey for me.
    The black is too severe and brooding.

    Cheers,
    JJ

    I know, but it's the same with many other items they don't offer as options for their cars, but you can still have them as a special request item at an additional cost.

    Heard from dealer that the factory has supplied 19" Dark challenge rims for CS as a special order, but not sure about 20" for 599 though.

    Somehow, it should be possible, IMHO.

    Go for it Tarek!!!..........'cos its damn NICE.

    Dealer is idiot. Nero or "Mercury" (dark grey) both available as extracampionario options. +/- red stripe like FXX. Talk to Ferrari direct, or get dealer who has ordered more than standard. My dealer hadn't, so I did it directly. Price unknown, just pay it when they tell you.

    glad to hear you are going with dark grey versus black. Ferrari should be able to do this. They will do anything for a price, right? I blieve the option is called grigio mercury for Maserati. I would imagine the color option may be similar for Ferrari.

    There is a simple rule with Ferrari -anything is possible, but anything outside of their normal options list is usually very, very expensive. Wheel color is not one of those crazy items, as Sfumato pointed out out the colored wheels are a listed option.
    US dealers are generally uneducated about all of the options available but they are more confused by the arcane Ferrari ordering system. It is Italian based and many dealers have a hard time navigating the site, especially to order intricate color combos of interiors and special order items like wheels.

    All of the Ferrari option info for every car is online (Google is your friend) and the best thing to do is research what you want on your own, determine the name of the specific option and take the specific order option numbers to your dealer.
