That is absolutely the last thing the car needs. Black wheels are - in my view - hideous, giving the impression of a car with gaping wheel arches and the sense of something missing. They absolutely lack any vestige of class.

No. Keep the silver wheels. Keep it classy.

Nice car, by the way!

+1. Graphite at a push.

Looks like large lotus Elise from rear

It actually looks really good in yellow.

Definitely keep the silver wheels!

Simply stunning. Just like their win at Monza yesterday. Leclerc? Utterly outstanding.
A good day indeed to take the wraps off the F8 Spider.

Get down to Lancaster’s in Colchester and you can sell one to yourself.

'grandad' LOL.
How long have black wheels been 'cool' for?...are they still sic ?
IMO they looked st when they first appeared and look st now the concept is old....and I'm talking completely black...whereby after a few miles you can neither discern their design or differentiate them from the tyres....
ANYTHING other than black please....dark grey, silver, any colour...just not black.

This F8 looks pretty sweet to me, have they done away with that weird headlight spoiler?....I've seen comments suggesting it is a very close facsimile of an Elise.... ffs ….

This was my exact instinctive thought too.

Those cars are wonderful, it's so refreshing that they still make this kind of cars, even as a high end product alone. I wish I was in the demographic who can justify buying one.

Me too, generally. I have never been a fan of silver accents on modern cars be it chrome trim around windows or on vents, or silver wheels.

Oh look another new Ferrari..

I've lost track of all the new models they've launched recently. Glad I don't have a deposit down on an F8, because they will probably launch the F10 before its been delivered.

What a joke.

[ReaperCushions]

Just adding a +1 for black wheels looking ste on pretty much everything, especially this.

I can't think of a single example where a different coloured wheel would have looked better.

Indeed. Almost as many new models as Porsche.

Looks alright to me. However Ferrari churning out far too many models in quick succession- they need to chill out else the residuals are gonna plummet like a stone or even worse-a McLaren

Don't buy one then ... I'm sure your Cayman is more than enough for your needs ...
