    What rims are you all going with ? I’m not really impressed with any of the offerings. Anyone going with the standard ones ?

    I wanted to go standard tbh but dealer convinced me to buy the forged ones, I really do not like them though but he insisted standard wheels would be ahrd to sell after, I asked for anymore compatible wheels but was advised there are none only the 2 on offer, and carbon fibre which is not an option due to cost and the crappy pot holed roads in the UK

    Other compatible wheels are not proposed as options but they do exist - the standard wheels are 488 GTB wheels, so all 488 GTB wheels (and also Pista wheels since they have the same size and offset characteristics) should fit.

    Pete , It seems kinda crazy to spend 9k on rims I really don’t care for. Im Not sure what I’m doing just yet.
    This is what I was thinking but after seeing them in person they are not dark but more of a lightish grey.

    I went with the standard rims on my F8 Coupe order. As mentioned I did not want to spend the money on the “upgraded “ wheels that I did not care for. Personally I’m going with a set of the Pista Coupe wheels.

    The issue is they wont let you spec the better wheels, those were on the demo but the diamond cut rim is not shiny on the outer part like my 458 rims so I went for this one, it's OK but not great, on the spider I'll go standard if they don't have anymore choise then buy compatible ones. It's crazy they want to give us less rather then more choice

    What will those set you back? Its a shame you basically have to dump what comes with the car or when finally selling will you keep the original ones, put them back on and sell these nice ones you are buying

    What is crazy is those “standard” rims are last years s**t. They couldn’t come up with a new lousy choice ? Best ,Kirk.

    Hi Phil, these are the ones I specced, my car is still not here, I don't think there have been any UK deliveries yet but, car is showing on waiting list so hopefully they start production soon, although I'm not certain they will with likely slow down to production due to the coronavirus
