    I think the two tone wheel makes the rears look too small...kind of frumpy. The standard GTB diamond cut are incredible, I agree. If the CF wheels were the newer 849 design, I may order them. I'm leaning towards the matt gray race wheel and maybe a silver painted detail around the outside to match the dreamlines, should I go that route.

    I love the white wheels but just feel they'll be a pain to keep clean. Please convince me they're not.

    I think the white wheels are maybe the best
    Option but they just feel inappropriate on a Ferrari, to me.

    Color wheels / outer wheel edge Porsche thing - matching body RS graphics in vinyl.
    Roundel / painted number / stripes / lower dream lines accomplish same in Ferrari the shield doesn't help so eliminating or small shield works.
    My Opaco GS and wheels are painted same - 296 is small - matching wheels / paint so for me white or blue carbon wheels makes sense - prefer a clean 2-3 color look.

    I’ve learned to never say never. Keep an open mind. Ferrari has had all kinds of wheels in its history. The one thing they had in common: they are all round :p

    interesting you say that. Someone else told me to that it doesnt feel they should be on a ferrari. I thought the launch spec with white wheels looked incredible (at least in pics)

    Took years to slow down a sea of red from the factory.
    296VS I posted is a copy of race livery - the after market world freaks Ferrari owners out like none other. Love seeing the old / new livery on special editions.

    The English still have their default favorite even going back to the 348 and earlier. The signature detail is Crema with that red carpet >

    That's tough. i do like the two tone wheels. see if you can add just blk wheels to these pics. would be helpful to see. What exterior color is it?

    rosso maranello, but it's just a preliminary spec, not finished.

    I think the 355 Challenge came with specific speedline white wheels.

    Well colored wheels beyond the circus actually served a purpose at one time. If you were racing at LeMans at night in the dark and it started to rain you would hunt up the blue wheels. Those wheels had he rain tires mounted on them, ready to go...

    In real life though, matt Grigio corsa isn’t nearly as dark as it looks in the configurator - just bare that in mind. it’s more of a darker (matt) silver than a grey.

    Indeed, I’ve had it many times and love the finish, but the two tone have a black center, as pictured above. I liked those best at first, but real life pics aren’t convincing me. I’d like to see the other finishes on cars.
