Black ,  personally i would plasti-dip the outer part red to match the body of car and keep the inner part of the wheel black.  I love it when part of the wheel matches the body of the car but that just me.

Hi Wayne, as I have a thing about wheels, had to reply. The new wheels look much better and as genuine wheels on the 458 are 10.5 rear and 8.5 front then you can fit wider tyres on the rear. Be careful with tyres as if you go to different between front and rear your traction control will cut in
Best regards Howza

I actually prefer the old ones tbh tough I do think the concave ones look better than the 2nd choice too

Hi Wayne,

Good to see you taoday mate.. Sorry we didn't get chance for a proper talk, but back to wheels......
You know my thoughts on black alloys.....
Personally, I really don't like them
Silver or grey for me, all the way.

Just not opinion.

You too buddy car was looking sick mate it's better than new :)

The black wheels were only to try I'd never have them black always be anthracite just wanted to bolt them on see what they were like?

Think I'le go for silver ones with bigger concave but do them anthracite

I think it will look great with those wheels. It makes the car look even meaner :)

Don't listen to Lee (lol).

Darker wheels are always better.

Black ones better looking than DNA's. Porsche's better looking than black ones. I always have a thing for deep dished wheels.

IMO Best would be Porsche's wheels in black.
