    This car came like this from the factory. Ferrari will paint your wheels black if that's what you want. They'll fulfill just about any request, as long as you can fulfill the price tag.

    A few months ago I contacted FNA regarding the 19" Challenge style wheel and was advised they offer an optional finish they refer to as 'Burnished' at a whopping 12K per set over the counter. However, not sure what the up charge would be when specing the car. With that in mind I would think they would offer the same for the 599 and 612 Monolitic Challange rims.

    Unfortunately, till now we can't convince Ferrari to provide the colored wheels.........the marketing dept. at Ferrari replied to my dealer that they could not paint them in black or grey.

    Thanks Drew.........yes, there is an option for "Burnished Wheels" for the F430, but it seems they can't provide it for the 599............I don't understand why they can't.

    Hi every body, i'm new here and very impresed with the level of knowledge and freindly spirit on the forum. i'm currently ordering a 599 and need to know how to contact ferrari direct to discuss options my dealer is not sure about, can anyone help with contact info? also any pics for the special stitching option ? or does anyone know what it looks like vs. the standard one?

    many thanks for your input.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Star(pentagram) wheel when when first introduced was 19 inches. Now, I've seen it in person it is 20 inches and looks unique. That wheel would look great in a gray color.

    Have seen dark grey wheels at our dealer here. Done by the factory. I have not seen it on the options list. Seems like one of those to be negotiated through the dealer. If it was on the list I would have ordered it for myself.

    Were they on a 599 and do you have a possibility to post a picture of the car?

    No. 612. Will try to find pics for you. I did not make them. If I can not find them then I will drive by the dealer on the w/e and make some.

    The Bronze color is one of nicest I've ever seen. I did the dark grey color on my silverstone 430 and they turned out great. I think I've got a black car coming [keep my fingers crossed] and would love to replicate the example as shown in the picture......those are sporty, beautiful with a touch of sinister!!! WOW!!

    Sorry for reviving this thread from the dead but...

    Tarek, are you still getting the 599. Your spec was stunning!

    I'm thinking about having my 599 20" wheels painted graphite grey, a bit like the 430 16M - [​IMG]

    Has anyone painted their wheels this colour? Even better if your car is Rosso Corsa! Either way if you have pics I'd be very grateful.
