Okay, I'm thinking about these wheels from HRE. Brushed Titanium, a matte finish. They also do a Dark Clear, which is a glossy finish. I would go from the 19" Orbits I currently have to these in 20".
I'll try to put links to pictures of them both. Here's what I'm not sure about: my car is Ammonite Grey.
1. I don't want it to be too monotone
2. I'm not sure about matte vs glossy

What think you?

Ferrari F456 with HRE P107 in Brushed Titanium | HRE Performance Wheels One piece forged wheel in the style I like: brushed titanium

I do like one piece forged wheels, three piece are too busy looking for me.

 

I think it's difficult to say. The 3 piece will stand out regardless. Monotone is a look some try to achieve. Can you see the finishes on a sample, another car or a wheel in person with your car. I think finish is one aspect, hue is another factor. Are the car and wheel both warm colors, cool, or one of each. When your colors are close actual samples needed. The BMW looks better to me in your examples, but it's not how I'd try to choose. Does HRE have metal samples of the finishes?

 

This will give you some idea.

 

Based on Madarts photo (shop?) The wheels don't appear to match well in my view, but the OP has to like it. Madarts, I expect this is an actual photo of a correct color car and actual wheel photos clipped from the actual wheel in the brushed finish? If so, probably the best that can be done short of actual in person materials.

 

Madart needs to rotate the wheels so that the sun glare on each comes from the same direction (and preferably from above). I believe they will show the whole car in a better light (pun intended).

 

I like the three piece.

 

i had the same thoughts when buying wheels for my lunar grey. i ended up going with a silver vs a gunmetal or dark tinted wheel because i didnt want it to be too monotone.

 

I love this. The HRE P107 is a timeless design that looks great on the F-Type.

 

You're right of course. I only had ten minutes to do it before work so it's a rush job just to get an idea.

I rotated them like that to line up the brake calipers (different position on the Ferrari).

I like them and think they suit well. Always a subjective opinion of course.

 

Thanks, guys. I really like the P107 as well. Don't really want the 3 piece on the F-type.... too busy, I agree. I just put that set of pics to see the color.

So, I like the style; just the color I'm not sure about. On HRE's website, you can see all the options, but I'm not sure how to know what any of them look like in the flesh. I tend to not want anything too monotone; some contrast is nice. I really need to think about this because it's a lot of coin not to be perfect.
