    In 2007 I purchased a 2006 manual 430 spider. From there I purchased a 458 Italia, then a 488 spider, today I have 2020 812 superfast. At the beginning of the year I put an order in for an F8 Spider and a few months later an 812 GTS. I got the call today that my allocation is now in and being processed, should go green this week. Very excited to get my first personalized Ferrari!

    I went with those wheels as well as I was not impressed with the pizza pie looking ones. Especially not for the 8-9 k difference.

    I was actually surprised that Ferrari does not have an option for black wheels. When I take delivery I will most likely have them painted.

    Congratulations!
    I was in the same boat regarding the wheels - I asked mine (also the star) to be painted in matt black. Love those wheels.

    I went with Rosso Corsa. I like the contrast with the Cuoio interior.

    I love the black wheels similar to what he did. I just did the same to my 812 and the difference is dramatic!

    At least from what I am seeing in my local area, the standard star wheels are more of a rarity than any other wheel. Hence why I went with them!

    Funny story , my buddy ordered the F8 spider with the pizza wheels and saw mine with the “ freebies “ and asked me if those were the upgraded ones. Lol. He actually traded his pizza wheels back to the dealer for the free star rims. Lmao.

    Update today….…allocation is here, going to FOCF Saturday to lock the spec, car should arrive Feb ‘22. No to the Pizza wheels (we don’t want any buyer’s remorse here), yes to front and rear sensors and rear camera, (sorry Kirk).

    And something ironic…..

    With all the changes, price increases, etc, the MSRP of the F8 Spider is now within $10 dollars of the incoming STO!

    My paranoid mind is starting to wander to the region of conspiracy theories and collusion!

    Love it with black wheels. I ordered the pizza wheels, but plan to have them powdered coated black which IMO improves their appearance quite a bit.

    Thanks. Of all my other cars, this will be my first and probably only classic Red Ferrari! Lol

    Love the name for the other wheels - “Pizza”.
