I don't know if you've seen the video yet but this was me racing that R8 at a GTBoard.com-event two months ago!

 

Very nice .
With a tune you would of one that race .
As for tuning product all brands you listed are excellent .
You can't go wrong .

 

Nice to see you on the forum. I came accross your video a little while back. I remember seeing a comparison between the various tunes you listed and Rebellion came out on top as they delivered the smoother power curve. You can't go wrong with either one of those but Rebellion seems to be the way to go when you look at price and performance gains. Looks like you enjoy drag racing so for wheels, maybe you'd want to stay away from Vossen. They have good looking wheels but they are on the heavier side. That will directly impact your straight line accelaration and any gains from the tune will pretty much be useless. Just something to keep in mind while you're wheel hunting.

 

Thanks for taking your time and answering! Do you have any recomendations on what wheels I should go for? I love dragracing so a heavy wheel is not something I'd want, looks matter too tho

 

I can certainly recommend a few brands . How much room do you have in your budget And what size wheels are you interested in?
If you're looking to stay close to or lower than what you'd spend on Vossen wheels the I'd say go with:
-Forgestar
-VMR
-SSR GTV series
-Wedssport

Those will all be quality cast wheels and weigh between 23-25 lbs

If you can afford to spend more then look into these:

-Volk Racing wheels
-Advan wheels
-Morr
-HRE
-Work wheels
-SSR wheels

These brands will offer high quality cast and Forged wheels in 1, 2 or 3 piece configuration. Typically 1 piece Forged wheels will offer the most weight savings and be right around 20lbs or less even in 20inch sizes. They also cost more depending on the brand.

 

Here is a quick video that I made today! Will be shooting some POV driving and some other stuff with my new GoPro Hero4 Black for you guys as well!

 

That's a nice vid. makes me want my car even more now lol

 

Haha the car is crazy and it's probably the best all-rounder i've ever driven! I really recommend that you pick up a Rebellion Stage 1-kit as well! I just fell in love with my car even more after putting that on! R8(V8s) doesn't stand a chance now!

 

Great thread and drag video! I've had that video saved to my favorited on YouTube for months lol. I have the same edition 1 so I look forward to seeing where you take this car!
I'm contemplating body kit and wheels in the future. I doubt I'll tune it though. With so much talk about a bump in power for future models I might just trade up in a few years

 

Thank you! I thing gtboard.com will be uploading the re-match with the same R8 on their channel pretty soon. I just had to race him again after the tune and the results a pretty impressive!
I'm a sucker for performance and I'm always trying to get as much power as I can out of my cars so I just had to get the tune haha! I think it will stay like this power-wise for a while though! The C63 AMG S is looking pretty interesting right now so I don't wan't to spend to much on this one in case I trade it
