Photos...My Black Series and a friends R8
We were bored yesterday when our track day got rained out, once the sun finally came out we snapped a few pics of our cars together. We drag raced approx 1/4 mile a few times but it was a slaughter...BS by 12-14 lenghts everytime. Nothing too special, just though you might enjoy. Sorry for the poor quality camera phone pics. We are trying to get our buddy with a silver 997 tt to come over for an all silver photo shoot.

We both knew the Audi would not stand a chance, but we both thought it would be a bit closer than it was. I think some of it was the driver, he's a bit green when it comes to actually having to shift. He is used to his fast automatic tranny RS6 and Charger SRT8.

He does not like the raw carbon fiber side blade, specifically ordered the car without it. He did order a set of Dymags, not the 9 spokes like mine, but the split 5-spoke design, they actually look similar to the stock R8 wheels.

I'm not sure which one is a newer design, I know my is a lot more common, at least more common as far as Dymags go. The split 5-spoke will look much better on his car, it has a very similar look to his stock wheels. The barrel of the wheels are identical as is the magnisum construction of the centers, I believe the weight is nearly the same as well.

We were planning on driving up to the Street of Woodfield, but it started drizzling at 8:15 am when we were gonna pull out and then went online to look and Marcus Frost posted a new date for next Saturday. I actually had 5 guys that were gonna make the trip from Naperville along with me, the R8, a 996tt an E46 ACS M3, an E60 BMW 530i and a built Acura NSX. I think I am gonna be able to make it next week, but it might be in one of my other cars, I am having nitrous installed on my car and I may be dropping it off later this week so they can get started on the installation. I think the other guys want to try to make is too.

The R8 is an awesome car, but the price-tag on that thing is outrageous in my opinion. You can buy a year old 520hp Gallardo for same money, which has almost 100hp more and more exotic than Audi

It's at the Streets of Woodfield Shopping and Entertainmet Center in Schaumburg, IL , right next to Game Works, everyone just meets near the Starbucks. This is a new thing that the organizer is trying to make a more regular thing, maybe weekly.

I like them both, depends on the car that they are going to be going on, I think both will work well on any M-B, I just liked the 9 spoke because it was more simliar to my stock Black Series wheel, I like the split 5-spoke for the R8. I have seen the split 5-spoke on a 997tt as well and it looked sweet. Can't go wrong either way, if performance is your main goal. There are obviously better looking wheels out there, the Dymags don't win any beauty contests, they are pure 100% function over fashion, the carbon fiber does give it a unique and sinister eye catching look, but you will never get that deep lip look with a set of Dymags so if that is the look you are going for, buy a set of HRE's or 360 Forged wheels.

The R8 is expensive but you are getting a damn nice car. balance, adequete power, good looks. it competes well with cars that have 100+ more hp. i think the diesel that will be available in the next few years will deliver plenty of torque and power.
I love the Black Series too though. They are both amazing cars but built with different philosophies in mind. The R8 is a razor blade and the BS is a sledgehammer.
