I've done a bit of searching, and forgive me but I can't find any definitive information. I've heard Scuderia coupe wheels (in grey), were painted Grigio Corsa, is this so? And that 16M (Scud style) rims were Nero Opaco. The CS also had a dark grey wheel option I believe, I don't have any pics to hand unfortunatly. Can anyone identify the color of the middle wheel in the first picture? If so, where might I be able to obtain paint codes from? As I intend to paint a second set of wheels for the CS. Also, does anyone know the name of the color of the wheel in the second picture? Many thanks, James Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Hi James, the optional color for the 19" CS/430 Challenge Style is referred to as 'Burnished' Difficult to confirm middle wheel color from pic as lighting plays with the color as you can see in these two pics of OEM color Burnished. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Many thanks for posting those Drew, that's the color i'm aiming for. Just finding out it's ******** paint code now!
Last time inquired no paint code was available from Ferrari. After exhausing my options I went with Grigio Silverstone. You may also want to consider the so called titanium finish as used on the Scud wheel.
james, you gave an idea for my car. i dont quite like the silver or black on a red spider. but a gray wheel, hmm, that may work. since there are an abundance of 430 wheels for sale, maybe i'll look into those and get them painted. the darker gray on the 16m would give the car a slightly more agressive look w/o going with the robo cop all black wheel. i like the all black wheel but not on red cars.
Stunning! if I don't get any more leads with the OEM color, grigio silverstone it is! Should match my titanium centre caps well too. Cheers Drew
Todd, this is how my current spare set look: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=138617564&postcount=1283 They're too dark I now realise, so the Grigio Silverstone as suggested should look great!
I agree, too dark for my taste as well. The selected will look nice, if you can, post pics after they are painted. Thanks.
FYI; Grigio Silverstone can also appear dark in low light as seen here, pic courtesy of member speedemon. You'll also want to consider which clearcoat, flat, satin or gloss. Mine, pics above and speedemon were finished in satin. Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think satin will be the way to go. Seeing as you're the wealth of knowledge on this subject, you wouldn't happen to have a paint code for the GS would you? Thanks again
Refer to these. I would confirm with your paint shop prior to ordering. Grigio Silverstone : 159650 (OEM) FER.159650 (PPG) Grigio Silverstone WB : 266613 (OEM) 912517 (PPG)
Fantastic, does the WB refer to a later version of the colour? Edit: i'm now thinking of Water Based after taking the time to think before typing!
They were actually off ebay at the time, Genuine part: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1734015.htm Most UK dealers will be able to get their hands on them, think I paid under £100 though.
only available on the very late 16Ms although shown on the launch car pictures (typical Ferrari marketing there)
