    last one: apollo silver exterior- which wheels?

    standard 5 spoke finish or titanium 5 spoke?

    car will have cf blades.

    can't decide if i want a bit of contrast vs car color or not.

    opinions?

    When will Audi put official RS5 pics on web for example...

    For example I saw official memo about RS5 demo car order for German dealers. Far too many people saw official specs. BUT, Audi is still holding embargo on RS5-what a st.pid decision...

    Back OT-about R8 pretty much everything...

    Dear RXBG,

    not any more, sorry.

    Choose Oolong Grey metallic. Fantastic color!

    Qisha- how many apollos are there? any pics? the oolong is nice but would not contrast enough with the CF blades. and hides the lines of the car too much.

    Fully agree with you.
    Oolong is just too dark for R8.

    Further choices:

    Avus Silver Pearleffect(unique pearleffect silver with small pink tone)

    or

    Monza Silver Metallic(small blue tone inside)

    Kreso- will stick with apollo. avus is old news. monza can be had on an A4 s-line in the USA.

    can't believe Qisha held out on us re: apollo- where are the pics ?

    That's absolutely stunning. I still maintain that silver is the best colour for the R8.

    Dear RXBG,

    after a little insight, i got good and bad news:

    ...the bad one: no pictures R8 with full body color Apollo silver (LY38).

    ...the good one: due to the fact that the order via Audi exclusive has never been processed.

    In short terms... you will have the first one- yet.

    Dear RXBG,

    i would choose a unique Version, 10-Spoke Y-Design in Titan finish, 8,5 J x 19 front, 11 J x 19 back, with Tires 235/35 R 19 front and 305/30 R 19 back.

    If you like the idea... we need to talk about a "order code".

    Qisha

    PS: if not, take the 5 star double spoke wheels in Titan finish.
