    I have 360 forged which have carbon fiber overlay. They match the blades... I also just got my Heffner Twin Turbo completed... Here is my car and a pic from their site.

    Thumbs up Re: Who plans on aftermarket wheels for their R8?

    Very awesome.They look very similar in shape, to our O.G. wheel. You certainly have ONE BAD A** RIDE. Kind of a shame all that workmanship gets hidden. A sleeper is nice though. Now, I AM ON A SEARCH - for C.F. overlays for my Scorpius wheels !! Might need a velcro system for easy off - to check for cracks !!

    Re: Who plans on aftermarket wheels for their R8?

    That's a very good point there. I really like those CF wrap wheels but I wonder if they would disguise a crack ?

    BTW H, did you have spacers on the wheels that cracked ?

    Just thinking, if the spacers increase the load on the spokes of the wheel ?

    Boy, if those turbochargers were mounted any farther back you'd need a luggage rack!

    CF wrap wheels
    Faux CF wheels are popular on the R8's? This is a good thing? OMG!
