Ferrari alloys - colour/ finish

[Jonny TVR]

I like the look of the forged wheels I have on but the overall look is just so dark with the grey of the car.

I was thinking of changing the calipers to yellow and centre cap to yellow to help.

Was also thinking about changing the colour of the wheels or possible getting the spokes/ outer edges CNC'd if thats actually possible..

What do you guys think?

Maybe get a photoshop first, but I think changing the wheels to silver with the yellow centres will give the whole car a lift - will look better IMO.

I'd do that before looking at caliper colours - on a GT like this the black calipers are nicely subdued

Thought about this and silver wheels do look good on some but can look a bit dated. After seeing the F12 below with yellow calipers and centres I think it makes all the difference.

I would leave the wheels personally and either paint the clappers or just go for the yellow centres, but not both.

Yellow centres and yellow ferrari decals on the black calipers?

Thats an interesting idea ... saves a bit of cost too .. was that an option when new?

Going to take the tint off the windows this weekend

I wouldn't have a clue to be honest my knowledge of ferrari would be minimal to say the least. I just think it would look smart. Get a vinyl place to run off a few logos and see if you like the look. If you don't just bin them if you do cover them with a bit of high temp lacquer1

Booked to get the wheels sprayed silver in a few weeks time. I remember I had silver spider wheels on my TVR's and I used to have to clean the inside twice a week if I was using it regularly, plus every now and then take all wheels off to clean the inside part. I don't have this patience anymore to do this so I'm wondering whether to get the inside sprayed gloss black to hide it a bit? what do you think? look naff?
