What wheels look good on an Audi R8 42? Finishes colour-by-colour
Fit gets you rolling — finish is what makes an Audi R8 42 look right. Every wheel below is confirmed to fit yours (5×112 PCD, 57.1mm bore); the call on colour is where we earn our keep — it leaves the factory in Felgensilber Metallic, Lava Gray Pearl, Jet Blue Metallic, Akoya Silver Metallic and more — here’s what we’d run on each. Crumpsall Alloys supply and fit from our Manchester workshop, free fitting available.
Felgensilber Metallic R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Felgensilber Metallic, we’d run gloss black — black on silver is about the cleanest contrast you can run — it sharpens the whole car up; or gunmetal — tonal with the bodywork — a tighter, European look that doesn’t fight the paint.
Lava Gray Pearl R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Lava Gray Pearl, we’d run gloss black — black on silver is about the cleanest contrast you can run — it sharpens the whole car up; or gunmetal — tonal with the bodywork — a tighter, European look that doesn’t fight the paint.
Jet Blue Metallic R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Jet Blue Metallic, we’d run gloss black — murdered-out — wheel and body read as one mass, nothing breaking the line. Proper sleeper; or silver — the classic move — silver lets the wheel design actually show against the dark paint.
Akoya Silver Metallic R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Akoya Silver Metallic, we’d run gloss black — black on silver is about the cleanest contrast you can run — it sharpens the whole car up; or gunmetal — tonal with the bodywork — a tighter, European look that doesn’t fight the paint.
Glutorange R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Glutorange, we’d run gunmetal — gunmetal is the safe genius — it works on basically any paint, warm or cool; or gloss black — gloss black is the safe-aggressive option — sharpens almost anything up.
Schwarz Matte R8?
An Audi R8 42 in Schwarz Matte, we’d run gloss black — murdered-out — wheel and body read as one mass, nothing breaking the line. Proper sleeper; or silver — the classic move — silver lets the wheel design actually show against the dark paint.
