Yeap guys we ed up. We choose the colour within five minutes off a dulux style colour chartbanghead

The result is the wheel's are slightly to ORANGE yikes We had gone to collect it today but instead the wheels are off to a body shop to do them Sting Red. Total cost of up approx £750 yikes

Very good but when they are the right colour do you think they'll look ok?

I'm not sure the red works to be honest Mel. It almost give the wheels a toy car sort of look. I would have gone black on the internals instead. Dark wheels on a red car look nice.

I'm not sure the chrome works either. Your diamond cut CV8 wheels look lovely on the Ro, but it just doesn't look right on an R8. Maybe it's just the red throwing it off though.

I don't like to be negative about something that someone spent a lot of money on, but you've gotta give honest opinions.

Hi Mel.... mmmmm just doesn't suit the car really, makes the wheels look smaller, photo's never do anything justice, may look totally different in the flesh, but in that photo it don't look good, really sorry that you have spent so much out Mel, I hate being negative but you did ask.
