The Wheels in Detail
The new Audi R8 is equipped with factory-installed 19-inch wheels.

Audi offers ceramic brake discs as an alternative to the standard steel discs. The stabilizer at the front is optionally made from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and aluminum, which cuts weight by around two kilograms (4.4 lb).
