Francis - I am sure you'll get your hands on a rosso fuoco one soon......
Sounds good to me. I'm always available to rescue and protect Maranello's finest. Rosso fuoco would look cool too. I had a client who was ordering a 488 in that colour, but then a speciale came up and he decided to get that instead. Speaking of speciale's, have you seen the blue and gold one dick lovetts have for sale!

Yellow Callipers and standard TDF wheels in matt black. My usual combination I'm afraid. But I love it.
Yes, very excited.
completely matt black?? Yes, very excited.
All that design work lost
F12 has to be my favourite Ferrari and as such one of my favourite cars full stop... sorry maybe just me...I just don't get specc'ing a gorgeous alloy wheel so that it blends in with the tyre...
you lucky sod though (well maybe not lucky, maybe hard working
) I think getting images like that of my once in a lifetime car being made would send me over the edge in anticipation

LOL, they are satin actually, if that helps?
Cheers
As long as your happy...Cheers
Look at all that glossy shiny stuff, paint, glass and carbon.... why matt/satin? was it purely for contrast or are black satin wheels a 'thing' you particularly like on this and other cars?... I mean I can see it's a trend and I'm not trying to be smart or trying to belittle your taste/car, it's clearly stellar....just interested
I'm just weird maybe? It was an option that I liked the sound of and when you see it in the flesh the wheels really do stand out. I suppose it probably is a fad at the moment but for some reason I have been recently ticking that box on most of my cars! Easily changed. Each to their own and all that.
Cheers.
Cheers.

Definitely not weird, as you say each to their own, I think actually it's me that's in the minority these days... I've not seen a car yet that has matt or satin black wheels where the wheels 'stand out', quite the opposite, with the light unable to shine, glint or pick up as much detail, they blend into the tyre and the blackness becomes one (as in that photo above). Obviously when you're stood next to it the eye will pick out some detail, but it still won't be as much as if it had been gloss or a brighter finish, anthracite, silver or whatever...Cheers.
