Don’t know if others subscribe to Automobile Magazine, but the recent edition contains a very good article on Carbon Fiber wheels:

They use Ford’s experience with Carbon Revolution to frame the topic. Well written article.
99% of the people won't know better and the remaining 1% know they're lying...sorry, lying is such a strong word. What I mean is misrepresenting the truth ;)from the article:
Carbon Revolution is also working with Ferrari on wheels for the 488 Pista..“We were very demanding with the style,” Edoardo Rossi, Ferrari product marketing manager for the 488 Pista, said of Ferrari’s work with Carbon Revolution to develop the Pista’s special wheel option. “The spokes ...are very thin, so it was an adjustment. Then we developed together the solution that you see inside, the white coating. It is basically a coating developed from aerospace to preserve the carbon wheel from the heating of the brakes.”
:lol:
Ferrari marketing manager talking to the press (in May 2018) about working with CR to develop ... the same coating that's on our :ford: wheels from 2015...
I would vote for a satin black finish myself. The brushed finish along with a black and a shade of grey would be what most would buy honestly.Hi Everyone-
We'll have a formal announcement on this wheel shortly; this is just a sneak peek of our sample we're testing. The CS21 will be offered as a 19x19.5 and 19x11 for GT350 owners. The 19x11 weighs 24lbs. This is a true application-specific, mono block forged wheel. The finish we're introducing with the wheel is brushed with *several* coats of clear for depth. We're open to other finish suggestions. I know the largest feedback we've received from most GT350 owners is that they wanted a finish that wasn't black...The official announcement will have some pro photography for you guys/gals to really show off the finish-
Thanks for the feedback and good catch; I was typing too fast. 19x10.5 & 19x11I would vote for a satin black finish myself. The brushed finish along with a black and a shade of grey would be what most would buy honestly.
Is that first size meant to be a 19x9.5 or maybe a 19x11.5??
Ooooooooo ........... Yes ...... ;-)Satin Black with Shelby and GT350 in Brushed Aluminum
