Default S8 Titanium Wheels

I would like to order a Daytona Grey S8. Do titanium wheels improve the look of the S8 ? Should I just go with the standard wheels ?

I like the titanium wheels better - but it is a personal choice. I think they would look good with the Daytona Grey.

I think the standard wheels look great.

Black interior. I may wait to order a 2014 S8....since there will be a styling change to the front of the car.

Where have you seen there will be a styling change to the front of the 2014 S8? Pictures? I haven't been able to find anything. Thanks!

I order the ti, then realized that half the audis on the road use that wheel, and only S8s get the standard wheel. The standard is more classy, less sporty. But the ti looks 95% like an S4, and loking even more s4 is not realy that grear....90% is enough.

Two different Audi salespeople told me there will be minor front end change in 2014 S8. I think I will go with standard rims.

The standard 21's on the S8 are a real bitch to clean. They are too tight to get your fingers in to get all of the break dust. It is also very difficult to get inside the rim to clean the dust effectively. There are some chrome looking parts on the rim that look like they are made from plastic. In two weeks I already have water spots on them that won't seem to polish correctly. I wish I got the titanium 5 spoke 21's.

Rims on my 2011 A8 are difficult to clean. Eat your fingers up.... I'll go with 5 arm rotors ( not ti) on 2014 S8.
