Ferrari 812 Wheels Set 20‘ OEM– Bronze Pirelli Big & Small: Fitment Notes

Owners replacing worn or kerbed rims on a 812 Superfast or GTS usually land on the same question: does the factory staggered layout still make sense on Dubai roads, and where can the correct finish be sourced with verifiable part numbers. The Ferrari 812 Wheels Set 20‘ OEM– Bronze Pirelli Big & Small answers both, pairing the manufacturer’s dual-diameter wheel design with a bronze finish and Pirelli tyres mounted ready for fitment. Owners who go looking for a replacement set quickly discover why a Luxury Auto Parts Center Dubai UAE matters more than a generic parts listing. 

A Factory Wheel Set Built Around Front/Rear Sizing

The 812 was never designed to run a matched set front and rear. Ferrari specified a narrower, smaller-diameter wheel and tyre at the front axle and a wider, larger-diameter combination at the rear, matching the car’s front-engine, rear-wheel-drive weight distribution and putting more contact patch where the power goes down. This set reflects that layout rather than compromising it with a uniform fitment, which is why it is listed and supplied as a “big and small” pair rather than four identical corners.

Carrying the manufacturer part numbers 324158 and 324159, the set is quoted so a buyer or workshop can cross-check against the chassis before ordering, rather than relying on a generic “20-inch 812 wheel” description that may not distinguish front from rear. This distinction matters more on the 812 than on many other high-performance cars, because the gap between front and rear sizing is wider than on, say, a four-wheel-drive platform, and a wheel ordered for the wrong corner will not simply look slightly off — it may not clear the arch or seat correctly on the hub at all.

Workshops quoting a 812 wheel job should always confirm which corner each wheel is destined for before the car goes up on the ramp. A rear wheel pressed onto a front hub, or the reverse, can appear to fit at first glance before the mismatch shows up in ride height, brake caliper clearance or handling balance once the car is back on the road.

Bronze Finish, Pirelli Rubber: What’s in the Box

The bronze finish sits at the darker, warmer end of the spectrum compared with the more common black or Grigio Silverstone wheels seen on 812s, and it is usually chosen by owners pairing it against a lighter body colour or a Rosso/Giallo combination where a contrasting wheel reads better than a tonal one. Each wheel in this set is supplied with its Pirelli tyre already mounted, which removes one variable from the install — the balance and tyre seating are done before the wheel reaches the workshop, rather than being handled as a separate mounting job after delivery.

For buyers comparing finishes side by side before deciding, it’s worth looking across the full parts and accessories shop rather than judging bronze against photographs alone, since wheel finish reads differently under UAE daylight than it does in a studio shot. Direct sun tends to lift warm tones like bronze more than it does black or silver, so a wheel that looks subdued in an indoor photo can look noticeably warmer parked outside a villa in Jumeirah or Al Barsha at midday.

It’s also worth considering how the finish will be maintained. Bronze wheels show brake dust and fine scratching differently from darker finishes, and owners who wash their cars frequently, or who use a detailer regularly, will likely keep the finish looking sharper for longer than owners who rely on occasional valet runs.

Genuine OEM Fitment vs Aftermarket Alternatives

A staggered, two-diameter wheel set is one of the clearer cases where genuine OEM sourcing matters more than it might for a simpler component. An aftermarket wheel claiming to fit the 812 front axle may be dimensionally close without matching the offset, load rating or hub bore that Ferrari specified for that corner, and on a car running this much power to the rear wheels, a poorly matched offset affects handling balance in a way that’s hard to diagnose after the fact. Every part Dourado Auto Service carries for the 812 is genuine OEM, supplied with the manufacturer part number, so the Ferrari 812 Wheels can be checked against the factory reference before it ships rather than after it’s fitted. Browse the full parts and accessories shop and cross-check a part number before committing to an order.

Fitment verification matters doubly on a staggered set, because a front wheel mistakenly fitted rear (or vice versa) will either rub, unbalance the car’s handling, or simply fail to seat correctly in the arch. Confirming 324158 against the front specification and 324159 against the rear, or asking for written confirmation from the supplier, is a five-minute check that avoids a return shipment later.

There’s also a resale angle worth noting. A 812 fitted with wheels that don’t match the factory part numbers, or with an inconsistent front/rear combination, is a detail that a knowledgeable buyer or inspector will pick up on at resale time. Keeping the wheel set traceable to genuine Ferrari part numbers protects that value the same way keeping service records does.

Why Big & Small Matters on Dubai Roads

UAE roads bring their own considerations into a staggered wheel decision. Summer asphalt temperatures affect tyre pressures and wear rates differently front to rear, and the extra rear contact patch on a car like the 812 is doing real work under hard acceleration out of a signal or onto Sheikh Zayed Road. Running a mismatched or incorrect rear fitment in this climate compounds tyre wear faster than it would in a cooler market, which is one more reason to keep the factory staggered specification rather than substitute a uniform set for convenience.

Sand and grit on shoulder lanes and construction-adjacent roads also make wheel finish a practical, not just cosmetic, decision. A bronze finish shows fine scratching differently to a black or silver wheel, and owners who do a lot of valet parking or street parking in Dubai should factor that into how they maintain the finish, not just how they choose it. Regular rinsing to remove grit before it’s ground into the finish during a wipe-down is a small habit that preserves a bronze wheel’s appearance longer than reactive cleaning after marks appear.

Heat also plays a role in tyre choice. Pirelli’s factory-fitted tyres on this set are specified by Ferrari for the 812’s performance envelope, and running the correct compound and construction matters more in UAE summer temperatures than in milder climates, where tyre pressures and wear patterns shift more aggressively with ambient heat.

Ordering, Related Sets and Confirming Fitment

Buyers should always have the 812’s chassis details on hand when enquiring, since Ferrari revised wheel specifications across model years and trims, and matching 324158/324159 against the correct chassis avoids delays. Dourado Auto Service also stocks the same staggered 20-inch set in black Pirelli and in black Michelin for owners who prefer a tonal finish instead of bronze, both built to the same front/rear specification as this set.

For owners working outside the 812 platform, the same genuine-OEM approach applies across the current catalogue, including Land Rover Defender wheel sets in silver, and in black and orange, where Dourado supplies Land Rover’s own part numbers for verification in the same way. Readers wanting background on how Dourado sources and verifies these sets can read more on the about Dourado Auto Service page, and full specification sheets or fitment confirmation for a specific chassis are best requested through the contact our Dubai team page before ordering.

Ferrari’s own model documentation for the 812 range remains a useful reference point for owners confirming trim-level details and factory options; it can be found at ferrari.com. Cross-referencing that against the part numbers quoted here is the most reliable way to confirm a bronze Pirelli set is correct for a specific 812 before it’s shipped.
