Default HRE finish to match Alu-Optic

Thinking about a set of 20 inch wheels for my upcoming rs7 which will be daytona pearl with alu-optic package. 20's have so many more tire choices. 2 questions:
Which wheel give largest appearance, I like P101 or SC40
Which finish would match the matte aluminum trim best? Brushed tint clear or brushed titanium, brushed dark clear may be too dark?
Thx

Hmm. Reviving an old question, and wondering what you ended up choosing? I have HRE P101s on my R8 Daytona Gray pearl I got the titanium finish, and they look great. I do not have the Alu-Optic package on my R8. I chose the Black Optic, because I wanted the fins on the back [Spyder] to be black.

As I get ready to order my '15 RS7, I am down to choosing exterior colors. Am on the fence between Matte & Pearl Daytona Gray, or a Custom Quartz Gray Metallic [which I have on my current A7]. Depending on choice, will probably select either the Titanium or Black 21-inch OEM wheels. Not happy with the limited tire choices in 21-inch, but not sure I am unhappy enough to forego the muscular look of the 21s. Once I have spent a little time with those, I expect I will put HREs on the car to reduce the unsprung weight. Right now, I am leaning toward either the P104, P44SC, or P45SC in satin charcoal.
