Default R8 V8 wheels - yes or no?

Here is the poll. Should I or shouldn't I?

19" 5 (dual) spoke wheels from the R8 V8



Thanks to MA8tey for the photoshop, which gives an idea of what they would look like...

Default Interesting result so far...

How about RS 6 C6 wheels? I didn't used to like them but saw them on a C6 RS6 and they look really good.

Default RS6 C6 wheels?

I'm not over keen on these, but love the C5 ones, which look good on the A8/S8, but they are rather heavy...

Default Possibly

and now I'm having second thoughts...

I think the only real test is to see them on the car and in the flesh
