    The only ting I dislike about the LafA are the horizontal mirrors. I understand they have been lowered because the door opening mecanism is quite different, but do you really think that standart LaF coupe mirrors coud hit the windshield or the pillar if they were retroffited to a LaFA ? I watched the pics above and its hard to tell...

    Any thought/input is welcome

    Silver wheels are really sooo much better.

    Agreed. I really consider it unfortunate how many LaFerrari’s were ordered with wheels other than silver. I sense the factory does as well.

    I have the impression that black wheels have been pushed by the Factory or at least the dealers when speccing (and Factory not opposing at all).

    They’re horrid. I’m not certain who “pushed” them, but they will be a long term regret. It’s surprising that many of the classiest and greatest collectors who were originally invited to order a car chose them (Jon Hunt comes to mind). I’m also guessing that 30, 40, 50 years from now, the silver wheel cars will be more sought after.

    Agreed. Love the black wheels on the Tdf/Gto, pretty much hate them on the Laf. I think it's also because of the wheel design. "Busy" wheel design look better in black than those thin spokes wheels

    The good thing is that changing the wheels or repainting the wheels is not a big deal

    You’re correct, however, originality and maintaining a car precisely as it came from the factory will remain a premium, particularly on a flagship model.

    Absolutely, I was thinking the same, but a guy can buy the lafA, put silver wheels during his ownership and put back the original one when selling.

    But yes, I's always better when the car looks good as it is
