    Ugh...those black wheels make the 355 look as though it's riding on 4 economy-saver spare tires.

    yellow or silver. The black will disappear. The red is too much.

    All black wheels look menacing in person. Getting ready to have my spare set redone matte black for the track. Pics when you are done, please!

    285ferrari has that color scheme (yellow body w/red calipers) and it looks pretty damn good!

    Ferrari in general has had that "mcdonalds" scheme color for years :(.

    For example:

    This is true...in all honesty the calipers would look good in any color mentioned. The black would be quiet, the red would be a little louder but factory looking, the yellow is WHAM...HERE I AM!! Whatever color Xavier paints them. It's a Ferrari...it will look good.

    I love that look!!! Very aggressive appearance :cool: :D!!! I would go with a bit less sheen on the wheels but other than that, that 355 looks mean !!!

    The wheels are off the car right now... having them powder coated in a rough texture dark grey with no gloss at all!

    If you are powder coating, go with 'satin' sheen :eek:

    It is "just right" :)

    I was undecided about the silver but I like it with the lettering in black.
