    Hi all,

    I’ve got a set of HRE P101’s coming in the next couple of days. They’re gloss black going on a Bianco Avus F12, and I was thinking of changing the colour to perhaps a satin bronze/ gold. Any other suggestions or thoughts on that look?

    Thanks,

    Ditch the black wheels already! I think gold/bronze can look nice indeed.

    Gold or bronze over black for sure!

    Plenty of options with white, what color is the interior?

    Interior is black with yellow accents. Open to any suggestions, and like you say, something other than black.

    Satin silver/platinum colour would be my pick. Personally, I think the gold/bronze look on aftermarket wheels makes the overall appearance a bit too aftermarket-ey, if that makes any sense (unless that's what you're going for)? Silver/grey keeps the OEM look.

    Another vote for anthracite or silver wheels..... less harsh and contrast to bianco.

    Ah Gordan Ramsay's TDF. His car is fitted with matte black wheels I believe, so that image must be photoshopped. Personally, I think matte Canna di Fucile wheels would suit it best (pictured below the TDF), dark enough to add some aggression but not so dark that you lose the shape of the wheel design.

    Amazing!!!

    My 2c, make sure you break down the look. It is, after all, on a TDF with a lovely stripe.

    The way I see it, it’s not too hard or too costly to change if it doesn’t look quite right, but think I have to give it a go. Otherwise I’ll always wonder ‘what if...’

    I like the HRE P101's in a brushed clear finish (gloss or satin). It is a beautiful wheel.

    Gloss if bronze as it will bring out the shape a bit better.

    Satin gold as it will be more elegant than gloss gold.

    Don't do either in matte finish. If you go satin, make sure that it is a satin finish and not a flat/matte finish.

    Black? No thanks. Hate black wheels.

    Fereari sells plenty of wheels in both gold and bronze, so not sure why it would not look OEM. The only thing that makes an HRE P101 look aftermarket, is the usual chariot sized diameter people get them in.

    White and Brushed Frozen Champagne 101s would be a good combo. 812SF pictured above, but you'd still get a nice idea of the final result.

    I have to agree with you. A satin finish indeed.

    It’s this very image that I keep stumbling across when I search white Ferrari, gold wheels

    Satin black would set it off in my opinion BUT I personally don’t own anything with non black wheels.
