Vinyl wraps are a bad idea. It's not just the length of time it's left on the car - a few micro blisters will call for a new paint job even if the vinyl is removed a month later. The vinyl adhesive will lift the paint, at any weak point - blister, minute scratch etc.
Not a fan of the matte look. The RS2 has quite a few curves that are emphasised by shiny paint. Matte or satin hides the curves, making the car look rather flat and uninteresting. Shine makes curves stand out. This is why Alpine White or Silver Ur quattros look like regular Coupes from certain angles - the flares don't stand out, unlike the effect Tornado Red, Panther Black, Lago Blue and Titan Red give.
As for wheels - not many that look good on the RS2, or indeed the rest of the B4 range. They need a dish to match the wide and low look. Porsche Cups or other similar oldskool wheels, in sixes up to 19", though I honestly feel 18" is the max before handling suffers. Going to 20" flat-faced wheels and maintaining a wide look is virtually impossible. Factory width is 7,0" on a 17" diameter. Going to 18" you'll need a width of between 8,0" and 8,5" to maintain that look.
