What's going on with those wheels, I mean, they look good with optics but aren't those the R8V8 wheels?

You put rotors on the last V10 didn't you? Looked good - especially in titan with all the carbon. :thumbs:

A wise man once said that the rotor wheels are on A5's!!

Dont do it man. i thought you only had them on the white car for winter.

i think the OEM V10's look awesome on the R8 IMO.
Phantom Black C6 RS6 - ex Classba battleship
Mugello C6 RS6 5.0 TFSi AVANT - Gone.

If you have any quieries for interior or exterior LED's then get in touch.

Rotors all day long on the R8.
If I could be arsed I'd post my pics of ASBO on the ring from last year and that settles all arguments but those pics posted do the job


Rotors look <beep> on an A5/A4 as they are on 80% of the tdi breadvans

But rotors are on 2% of the R8's and the rear dish is epic!

Geek question - what car are they from - S6 20s or something - they are not R8 specific size and offset are they?

R8 wheels are R8 specific.

RS5 V spokes won't go on but I agree would look good!

8.5 front and 11 on the rear I think?
