    Obviously gloss black would not be as much of a statement as your current gold/orange ones. So if you are looking to tone down your FF a bit, that is directionally right. If you go all black you might also powdercoat the exhaust tips a matte black.

    BTW if you want to spend the rest of your life looking at wheel colors, check out Prismatic Powders. Prismatic Powders: Powder Coating Colors 6500+ colors. They will even send you a few swatches.
    As it happens I am browsing their site for the same reason -- looking to change wheel colors on a white FF.

    Is that a gold or bronze tint? Looks amazing, I'd keep it as is.

    Keep as is. Why hide a set of beautiful wheels? I don't get black wheels at all.

    Hey John, it's actually "Copper" It's a colour choice on HRE's website. Thanks for your feedback!

    yeah I love the color they are now. Really makes the FF pop. Black wheels on a black FF with no shields would be so low key you might not ever get noticed though, so if low profile is what you're going for then I'd say go for it.

    Edit: guess I missed the shields. Was too drawn to how awesome the wheels look in that color haha

    OP has owned the car and is looking for a change. We are seeing it for the first time. Lots of other colors will also make it pop, but gloss black is a complete different look.

    Change to black is definitely a U-turn but obviously is among your likes

    I'd improve this car by turning down a bit the shine of the copper wheels, more to a satin/matte finish.

    How about doing the inverse of the Aventador and doing the black car and white wheels? Those wheels would look sick in white! Say hi to Carbone for me! Hope you enjoy the Aventador as much as the 12c!

    I haven't lived with it, but I think these wheels look amazing as they are. I'd keep them in the copper. Love it!

    If it was mine I would keep the copper wheels and get the horse in the front grill and on the back done in the same finish...

    A white Aventador with gold wheels would be awesome. I might be wrong, but I think 9 out of 10 white Aventadors have black wheels, your car would set itself apart and not be like everyone else's. Do it.

    well, I have a gold aventador with black rims, so.....
    aventador looks good with pink wheels or anything really, so don't sweat it.
