    Looks good, but matte black Lambos are getting pretty played out.

    Matte black = played.
    Matte red = pink.

    I hate when Lambos aren't in color.

    Give me something bright and vulgar. Turquoise, purple, pink, orange, anything but black, white or silver.

    I love how this thread is supposedly highlighting the color of hte car and the wheels, and in the photos, two appear to be black and white, on is either done in HDR or with an extremely high contrast correction, and the only vaguely color-accurate picture is only of one corner of the car.

    Yeah, they're terrible photos. I strongly dislike color selected photos.

    Especially poorly done ones...
    Come on people, it isn't that hard to select a smaller tool tip in photoshop!

    I'd have to see the car in person before judging it, considering how awful those photos are...

    Matte black is stupid unless it's a 50s Chevrolet with five-spoke Cragars and a giant blower sticking out of the hood.

    Matte red.....let's not even go there.

    If only he had done a fake tilt-shift, he would've published every played out, over-used and poorly executed photography fad of the last 5 years in one sitting.

    Well, that's easy to explain....
    You see, the car is soo black, its sucking all the other color around it in like a black hole of pigment.

    The one shot with the green grass is close enough to the wheel that it isn't affected. Also, with the wheels being inside the wheel wells, they are also un-affected unless youre too far back, al-la the last pic.

    Get it now, camera technology just can't handle how black this car really is.



    Okay now, seriously, on a car that costs that much, did HRE really think that they're wheels look better than what lambo can come up with?

    wheels dont match the car very well. just looks a little off to me.

    i would have preferred the factory wheels in matte red.

    but, to each his own

  28. 04-25-2012 10:33 PM #29
    the wheel color will match the car when the engine catches fire

    We don't know what colour they actually are because the lousy editing shows them different in every frame.

    I'm sorry, but the stock whee design is so much better and goes with the rest of the car a lot better. This is a downgrade.
