Don't know a lot about aftermarket solutions but the genuine roof bars are specific to the 8 are nicely made, fit as you'd expect with a rubber shoe that cups the roofs contour and a tool for doing up the torx bolts to the 6-9nm.
I'm a picky, negitive git and i have to be honest i'm not sure you'll find a better alternative, cheaper maybe but the genuine ones are pretty danm good.
Just for reference with the 8’s door open have a look up on the underside of the opening and there are 2 little arrows pointing at each other, between these is where you fit your bars / rack.
