    This is what my dealer has told me. Has anyone else heard the same on their build?

    The company that build's the CF wheels builds thousands for Ford but can only supply 48 sets per month to Ferrari???
    To be fair the CF wheel demand far exceeded Ferrari pre-production estimates but still they overpriced and under delivered in a big way on both...

    One more reason to go for standard wheels, buy them afterwards if you still want them ...

    It’s white on the inside and you cannot repaint it because it’s a ceramic coating which reflects heat from the brakes. Otherwise your wheels are going to melt.

    The CF wheels also have a heat stripe laminated into the ceramic layer which indicates track use and / or overheating due to excessive braking.
    In both cases, you will be forced to exchange all four wheels for some nice 10k per wheel...
