I'm leaning towards ordering mine with vspokes, but I'm forever cleaning the vast amount of brake dust my current B7 dumps on the wheels, and the rotor wheels will be significantly easier to scrub
I guess the alternative is to order ceramics, but £5k is a lot of money just to avoid wheel cleaning as I'm not going near a track with it to have the need for the reduced brake fade they offer
They are a little difficult to clean I must admit but I do wash mine at least once a week
I'm rather anal about clean wheels though, so if the generation of brake dust is anything like my B7 (fairly consistent with both new/old discs and pads), then I'll be on it at least twice a week - I do cover 15-20k a year in my daily current RS, which is obviously my daily driver
I'm a silver wheel/black car guy too, so the B8 will be the same. Not that I dislike titan or black wheels, but they're just not for me
