    I just took delivery of this F12 w Grigio wheels. There were some flaws and my dealer is fixing it. I now have the option of going black. I had some one photoshop black(on top) so I can see what it looks like. What is the general vote on this?

    I usually love black wheels, and while they match the roof, I think dark grey look nicer on that beautiful car.

    Grey, not black. Black loses the wheel design.

    Like black rims but on your car:
    Grey.
    Easy answer.

    All these cars with black wheels are getting old to me. You lose the detail of the wheels, they blend in with the rotors and it just turns me away from them

    Black wheels are so hard to capture in a photo. Either will look great, black if you want that more sinister look!

    Those grey wheels are boss! Black is beautiful….but not usually on wheels.

    Whats worse is when the rubber of the tires isn't as dark as the black wheels.
    Then it REALLY looks 'off'.

    Why spend thousands on wheels only to paint them black so no one can see them. Makes no sense to me!

    Thanks all. Grigio it is. I agree with many of you that black is too much and gets rid of the "class" factor. Again, thanks.

    As we discussed you might consider going just a touch darker. The forged wheel upgrade color for the Italia is called "Corsa Grey". Just a shade darker then the Grigio.
    Car looks spectacular in person buddy!

    But looks very good...but my personal taste goes for the grey ones...

    By the way,someone knows why in some markets the optionals F12 wheels are not allowed to choose?
