    Upper pic.

    Upper picture is my preference.

    The gray rims (at least the centers look gray) are just subtle enough to give it a little bit of character. Ditch the chrome outer ring - like you said, paint it black.

    My Dymags are semi-gloss black center and the barrel is actually sort of a green/black. The subtle color difference is just enough to make the fully blacked out car have that little "extra". Or at least so I feel.

    I like your modulars. And in a gunmetal finish, which goes with cf quite nicely. \"/

    I like the bottom pic. IMHO they are better looking wheels and the all black is in keeping with your black / white theme.

    Keep it stock, the aftermarket wheels don't look good on an R8

    Bodhii reminded me that most MODULAR wheels don't look as awesome on an R 8. \"/
