Default Torch Red wheel selection
If you are ordering Torch Red exterior color, what wheels are you going to go with?

Base silver. I'm not a big black wheel fan and have always liked the classy look of a red Ferrari with silver wheels. I think the base wheels look good enough and it's not worth the extra cost (to me) to pay for any of the wheel upgrade options.
If I change my mind there will be a lot of aftermarket wheel options after a while. Or I'll have mine powder coated.

I am going with the standard silver wheels with a plan to powder coat them in a year or so.

Default Hmm?
The Vin 001 Barrett Jackson auction mule was Torch Red with black wheels. My wife said I don't like black wheels, but I like that car. Me too.

I got the black carbon flash 5 spoke. I just think it looks great with the red brake caliper behind it. Exactly like the Barrett Jackson C8.
