    Door #4, but with a 245 up front...and some 10 or 15 m.m. spacers. Whos' got the stash of TITANIUM lug bolts?? Whichever wheel is lighter is the better performer.

    My vote is obvious but it appears that others agree. I am not a fan of the Y spoke look and it has never grown on me. The titanium finish looks perfect with daytona gray and I get a lot of compliments on the combo.

    Anything but titanium. They always look dirty. Just ruins the look of any car

    Hey man, I suggest that you start out with your own choice from ALL available wheels. Why limit it to just Audi? There are many many wonderful wheels, and we have several very capable vendors here to help you out with perfect fitments.

    Other than that, I would go titanium.

    Enjoy your new R8!

    Ok but I dont have any interest right now in aftermarket wheels. I am 2 days from putting an order in to get the car. Last thing I am thinking about is wheels that dont come on the car.

    Busting out this type of cabbage on a car you should be somewhat cool with the wheels you can get as ordered.

    ---- all that said I have seen some pics of dark wheels that are off the hook good lookin.

    I will certainly second that...the wheels actually look clean all the time as regular silver on any high performance Audi is dirty 10 seconds after you wash them. My RS6 in Daytona with titanium wheels gets constant compliments for the wheels...and several RS owners waiting for me to get the R8 deal done (trade in RS6) so they can buy my wheels.

    I recently applied Jet-seal 109 to my Smoke chromed, 5 arm double spoke R8 wheels. They are staying MUCH cleaner than they used to. I suggest applying SOMETHING to your wheels ASAP after delivery.The brake dust just won't cling like it does on untreated wheels. I remember how hard it used to be, to keep my wheels looking new.

    Harry, I hope you still have those Lambo wheels. I like all of your wheels that I see in photos, but those Lambos rule!
