Orange find, I also

What colour should I have my callipers done on my Melbourne Red car? I thought maybe Blue? Yellow would be too much "I'm trying to be a Ferrari"

Blue would go or you could do them same colour as the car Melbourne Red or another colour for contrast against the red would be some shade of grey.

Yeah, grey I reckon or maybe a bronze.

How can you tell the difference between genuine and aftermarket 437 then please? I see sets on the bay going for £1500 or so. What signs to look for to tell they're the real ones?

Genuine alloys will be stamped on the inside spokes.
Genuine are 10J rears and 9J fronts.
Weight, genuine alloys are forged and super light, compared to cast replicas.

£1500 is expensive. I got my set with 4 MPSS tyres for £900 ish. I think R. E92 got an even better deal than that

Thanks mate, I will keep my eyes open for a set then.

Mine were £500 but had rash on a couple of them so needed a refurb.

Looking great!

The wheels match the space gray really well. Did you have the callipers taken off and powder coated/painted? The finish looks very good.

(I’ll be powder coating or painting my 326 rims black an callipers blue on my space gray Z when winter is over .)

I've just paid £700 for a pristine set of 437's which is roughly in line with what the others are saying. It has taken a long time of sporadically checking to find a set at that price though. As you say, £1500 or so seems to be the norm.

Up until now I've had replicas on as I quickly needed a set of 19'' wheels to clear my brakes. For the price I can't really complain about them, they fit very well indeed and although they're heavier than genuine wheels, they are a bit lighter than the 18'' wheels that came off.
To tell the difference, look closely at the diamond cut finish on the front of the wheels, on replicas you will see machining marks whereas genuine ones are smooth. On the inside of the spokes as well, genuine wheels have a smooth machined finish wheres the replicas are a rougher, cast finish.

If you're looking on ebay pay very, very close attention to the pictures and description! There's an awful lot of replicas out there trying to skirt around the fact they aren't the real thing! Usually they'll write '437M Style' without saying replica and I've even seen a few that have pictures of genuine wheels but states '437M Style' or 'Replica' in the description, or the widths are wrong.
As a rule, if it doesn't state genuine in the description, I'd assume they're not. At least if it states genuine and they turn out not to be, ebay will cover you.

Hi, yes the callipers were fully taken off the car, sandblasted, powdercoated etc...

Blue or yellow.

Yellow ( my preference ) say "ceramics" to me more than it says Ferarri,... that could just be me however.

I'm still on the lookout for a set of these. With tryes they seem to be going for about £1400 minimum.
I am in no rush and will keep looking. I don't want to pay more than about £1100ish with reasonable tyres. if I can then sell my 326's for £600-700ish then the cost to change is fairly reasonable.
