Must be the style then, guess I am just a fan of rotors. Think they look the business on the B8.

Maybe you just like rotors because they are so common and can be had on pretty much every model in the Audi range!

At least v spokes are different for now but I'm sure they will end up on every special edition rep mobile in due course too !

I love the vspokes

But i get where geek is coming from, as the concave on the RS rotors combined with the fat arches really combine well...thats why i love em on my R8 as the rear concave is lush....

RS 3 .... Pah, take em or leave em ....

There is some truth there, they do look a fair bit better on the RS4 because of both the size and the 'dish' over some of the other models.

Vspokes are still better though.

Standard 19s don't work either.

RS3's are all about Chuck Norris, RS4's and V Spokes fit nicely with Julian Clary

It's also common knowledge and based entirely on fact that Japan imported 20 Suzuka Grey RS3's so that Ninja's had a suitable mode of transport. Fact.

V spokes in 20 look much better in person; pics don't capture colour or depth of the wheel. Also more special as 535dboy says. Not a fan of the 19 but probably softer ride
