Wheel Refurb - Pic Request

Post by irishmike » Sat Mar 01, 2014 11:37 pm

My Sprint Blue RS4 has some scuffs on the wheels from a previous owner.
I am going to get them refurbed but thought that I might go for a colour change when I'm at it.
Thinking along the lines of a gunmetal gray powdercoating finish.
Any opinions?
And if anyone has that done on their car I'd like to see some pics, did a search but didn't see blue with gunmetal wheels.

Have you considerd a matt anthracite finish? Mine has it and i think they look great, not a sprint blue car though.

Yeah that's my other concern, I don't want to go too dark , black is out.
Will I have to do the chrome and mirrors too....

The Avant above is perfect I think, the chrome still looks fine.
Maybe like this?

not a fan of the titan colour it makes the wheels look like unwashed brake dusted silver wheels

+1

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.

I run a bodyshop and we did these for a white r8, they looked great on the car.

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..!
