    Cool HRE vs RiverSide 20" Wheels - Opinions Please

    Hey Guys,

    Basically I'm currently running some Riverside - Astadt EXE 2 20" (Custom powercoated in black with white lip)

    One side of me fancies a little change and I have like the HRE P41's in Matt black finish 20"

    My question is, what ones do you guys think looks/ suits better on the R8?

    Here's couple pictures:

    I think matte black wheels look great on any R8. I don't like the white lip on your current wheels that much.

    +1 My thoughts, exactly. White lips are just too pimpin', IMO. Here's what I just ordered for my Phantom Black Spyder:

    definitely HRE. Matte finish on a white car looks really sharp. Those other ones....no offense make the R8 look cheap..

    The P41 is one of the best one-piece designs from HRE, in my opinion. I wouldn't hesitate.
