F12 Wheels

Ferrari has come out with a new 16M/458 style wheel for the F12. Anybody have a photo of these mounted on an F12? These look pretty nice.

I do like these. Most of the F12 wheels offered by Ferrari are a bit too chunky for my taste, but it is a matter of taste.

 

Taz you didn't Follow the story of Roma in the Official picture thread ?

Those wheels have been posted here since a few month. I really wanted to see 'em mounted on a car.

One day Roma said he just ordered them . I found it great. He posted pictures it the pictures thread.

 

Olivier- No, I do not usually frequent this section, so I missed it. Those would look really nice in silver or light gray so you could actually see them.

Photo I missed, stolen from the other thread.

For sure Black isn't the best color to see the details.

The only non-black pictures are from a brochure posted by Marcel Massini... I'm trying to find it

 

I was gonna say that because the F12 is such a big, chunky looking thing, that such thin spoked wheels don't really work. Two sides of an argument at least.

 

Black hides the lines of the wheels and also messes up the contrast between the wheels and the body.

 

+1

 

Actually, it's a new design and completely different to the 16M/458.

 

they are very similar to the laferrari actually,minus being 5 lug compared to center lock

 

Yes, the spokes arc outwards in a nice curve. Very pretty. I don't see it on the configurator yet but that is not unusual.

 

I just put the other wheels back on with the winter tires. I think I prefer these wheels on the car but it's a totally different look with the black wheels. I think I will put the black wheels back on with the summer tires. It's cheaper to own 2 sets of wheels than 2 F12s

Even in daylight the wheels are dark. Black is black at night and still black during the day. I think it's a cool look that changes the look of the car - but only buy these wheels if you want black wheels!

The design is cool and actually very close to LaFerrari's, as mentioned. I'd love to see them in silver or grey, I guess it's just a matter of time.

 

hmmm ... maybe I should paint mine...

 

You might powdercoat the lugbolt tops to a matte or satin black ... and get another set for the light wheels. Or go all in for titanium.

 

I think they look outstanding with the grey/silver body. They accentuate the body color.

Now some enterprising person needs to figure out how to do colored ROTORS to serve as a background color that highlights these lovely blacked out wheels!

 

Mark- At any rate, I like those wheels and they really show off the brake details. If I was gung ho, I could PhotoShop them silver so we could see how they look. PPG 36520, Argento Metallic or Argento Nurburgring, same color.

Very pretty F12.

 

Hi Terry if you have those skills (I myself do not!) then I think it would be great to see a rendering maybe in the same silver as the oem wheels.

 

F12 with the new wheels photographed 1 November 2014 at official dealership Niki Hasler AG in Basel, Switzerland. Color is Canna di Fucile (gun metal grey).

Marcel- Thanks, you seem to have a photo of everything. I like those wheels in that color and CdF is a really pretty color that changes hues as the light changes. CdF has been around for a long time, as you know.

 

Thanks Marcel ! do you have some more pictures ?

 

Yes, I do and am going to see that particular F12 tomorrow again.
Give me 24 hours, thanks.
