    Wheel advice on ice silver r8

    I have decided on a classic 20" mesh design with lip. Question is, should i go for polished/chrome lips, brushed centers, exposed fasteners OR polished/chrome lips, matte black centers, and exposed fasteners? I figure the matte black centers will complement the matte carbon side blade and matte inlets, however, the brushed centers will definitely pop more.

    Thoughts?

    Btw if anyone is interested in 20" forged wheels, PM me for details. I have a friend starting up a wheel biz and hes offering 20's at cost (see pic for one of the 6 classic designs offered).

    I think the existing one in the picture looks much better as do the V10 ones and GT ones.
    Reminds me of the wheels you used to see in the 90s on old golfs BBS LMs? or something i seem to recall.

    Not for me, sorry, cant really help.

    I appreciate the feedback. The Bbs Lm's is considered by many car enthusiasts to be a classic and timeless design, hence the reason why you saw them in the 90's and still see them now. I think the stock wheels are nice but a bit pedestrian looking. I had the mesh with lip look on my Aston Martin so i wanted to stick with the design.

    Are you suggesting the mesh look doesnt suit the R8's line?
