    hi all,
    Im considering buying an SF90 Stradale asseto fiorano with carbon wheels.

    Carbon wheels would be nerve wracking on a daily, because they cannot be repaired much at all. I'm not saying don't buy it, but you should just swap out for alloy wheels if you're going to be using it to commute in the city.

    My daily is still an F12 and I admit that over 36k miles with it, I've scuffed wheels parking or once in a U-turn, couple hundred bucks and they're looking new again.

    I used to have an F12 too as my only car.
    The carbon wheels will worry me each time im parking but it should be ok.
    I wont use the sf90 as a daily but will use it often

    They are also very low, and you cannot have a lifter on them. My friend had to remove the stop for his electric gates just to get the car to his house.
    When he ordered a spider he did not get the AF pack.

    London driving is a nightmare, potholes, speed bumps, 6 foot six wide gaps to squeeze through, 20 mile an hour zones, speed cameras and on top of that parking hugely expensive if you can find a place to park with traffic wardens everywhere.
    I live just outside London so either use the train or taxis when travelling into London.

    Forgot to mention the daily congestion charge and horrendous traffic jams.

    I spend a lot of time driving in London and my first thought is carbon wheels, lower profile tyres and London kerb heights are a bad mix.

    As @ryalex said – get a "cheap" set of alloys for day to day driving.

    Ah yes I know.... Moved to London 16 years ago.
    During the day I usually use a motorbike.
