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.

I take on board what you say but dont totally agree with everything.
for example Amars old D2 had 20" final edition wheels on it and that looked very low and wide!
Havent decided on the matte grey wrap, i may change my mind. pretty sure it will be either a wrap or a custom paint job though
