Sold my 63
Loved the car but will be moving on to something else. I have gotten a couple sets of wheels during my time of ownership if anyone is interested.
1. Set of staggered 20x8.5 20x10 HRE 547r with charcoal faces, polished lips, and black hardware wrapped in 245/30/20 and 275/30/20 Hankook v12s with less than 200 miles on them. I have reciepts for the tires and have spent over $1k refinishing and getting them as close to new as possible. Looking to get $3200 obo for the wheels and tires.
2. A set of stock 2008 E63 AMG wheels wrapped in stock sized Bridgestone tires with less than 500 miles on them. No cracks and bends but does have some minor nicks and rash on all 4. Looking to get $800 obo for the wheels and tires.
3. A set of staggered black 20'' Giovanna Martuni wheels. Wheel specs are 20x8.5 et35 on 245/30/20 20x10 et42 on 275/30/20. I got the wheels from a fellow forum member here a little while ago. I paid $650 for them. I have since touched up some of the nicks and scratches and they now have new front tires. Looking for $700 obo for the wheels and tires.
Trying to Sell locally first so potential buyers can come see the wheels in person. But will ship at buyer's expense. No TPMS included but have the bolts for the stockers and the HREs.
For some reason I can only post 1 pic at a time. I have close up pics of all wheels available via email if anyone wants them. Thanks. TC

I was just joking above with that! The R8 is fast right? I think I heard one time that they go mid 11's out of the box. Cool looking cars too!

Not to hijack your thread, but R8s have so many engine failures here in Germany after less than 50.000km. Its incredible.
The good ol' "engine shops" where you most likely then go to save some $$$ for a replacement engine and instead getting repaired the old blown one, are all cursing at those engines.
Most of the time its the crankshaft main bearings that fail completely, followed by massive amounts of shaving floating around in the engine killing at least the cylinder walls mostly.
Engine shops, after such an entire overhaul, then tend to tell the own to half the oil change intervals of those crazy so called "Long life" Oils, as they suspect that have something to do with those failures.
Many people around me drives Audis and VW, even in my family (my brother works for them).
Even the entire car fleet of the company i work for, is Audi and they are in the Audi shop nearly every moth for some new issues that were discovered.
I would never ever drive an Audi when i would have to pay any service, shop costs or genuine spare parts.
