I'm looking at a very similar car (see link below)

I'm also considering 570s on the market for another £10k on top of the asking price of above car.

What do you think?

Yes that type of Colour maybe slightly darker

I was also looking at the car you just bought.

Is the car you both the 616 bhp version?

I agree with you. Too many cars have dark wheels nowadays so seeing silver wheels somehow makes the car look cleaner and more elegant. I wouldn't change a thing on that car. Its spot on.

Couldn't agree more. Some cars suit black wheels, some don't. This car definitely suits the silver alloys.

I have a few already..
Thanks

That looks absolutely gorgeous. The silver wheels to my eyes look perfect, no way would I be darkening them, but then I am a renown dark wheel hater.

Agree with all of the above!

My wheels were originally gloss black till I had them changed recently;

Best of both worlds - dark paint and diamond cut......

It's having a service tomorrow
Just hope nothing is wrong can pick the 12c up then.
It will be my first ever drive or even sit in one

[macdeb]

[BURNIE]

Sure will so excited, just hope it's as good as it looks.

Diamond cut alloy wheels are never the best of anything in the UK! The daftest modern car invention since the touch-screen monitor-car looks great though

I like the diamond cut look - however, having stupidly kerbed a rear wheel recently, I'll find out next week whether they're able to stay diamond cut. If not, I guess they're all about to become stealth......

The body shop I use can actually paint in a scuff to make it look like it's had a diamond cut repair-might be worth asking if it's an option.

Well how did it go ?

[BURNIE]

Sorry not been on for a few days..
The chaps at Guildford said its one of the best cars they have seen for some time.
So deal is done, super excited I really never ever thought I would be in this position, its a fabulous feeling just the waiting is the hell.

I was the same - I’d never even seen a 650s until it arrived !

I try not to look at the purple 12c spyder at TH jr thats been for sale forever. If you look at my own page there's pic of of me with that very 12c @ Bedford when it was new. There was noting quicker than that car on track that day and there were some very fast cars there. Have aged so well. I once saw a lovely rendering of the new Esprit in an old Autocar cover page. The 12c is its doppelgänger imo
