Hey D6CLN,

Cheers for the pics, those look really well.
Any chance of some less artistic shots if u get what I mean? Just more natural colours so I'm sure before I book it in

Thanks :)

Looks ok similar to silver shadow meaning it kind of looks dirty when clean, ive grown to like my oem silver with mugello blue but still fancy a change..still looking for a good pic of mugello with black gloss wheels.

Same, can't find a picture of a Mugello RS with black or anthracite wheels anywhere.. I wan't to get mine done but can't decide on the shade without seeing beforehand..!

Here is my Mugello with anthracite wheels - http://forum.rs246.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=103892 :thumb:

Nice!!

Had a chat to the guys today, they thought the anthracite might be a bit dark for the car, would have to do the optics too I'd reckon.
Maybe a matt finish would be better though...

Still a bit undecided tbh :(

I have decided on anthracite but with pearl lacquer to kind of match my Avus, probably a bad idea.

Liking the alloys on that dark blue loon in the first set of pics in the garage.

I have loads of photos of mine with Anthracite wheels (black car though). I can't link to photobucket on the work PC though. I can add some direct links later, but for now there are some photos in the first post of my build thread:

Same thing I was going to ask too! Concave wheels look so good on the RS4 :-)

Getting mine done in Cork. Sodablast.ie.
A mate of mine is trying to organise a deal with wheel wizards in Dublin but I'm not getting in on it. Handier to get them done local.

Just got mine back from Lepsons this morning, and what a perfect job they have done.
Changed from anthracite to black chrome, really pleased with the finish and the way they look on the car.

Another Option!!

They look really nice in fairness, suit the car really well.
Was the anthracite too dark?
Have any pics?
