With your car I would do a bit more contrast, I had black for a while but changed to titanium wheels and mirrors and really happy with it. Feel like the blacked out look is over played a bit... but on some cars it works well!

Here is mine:

P.s sorry for the dual response, “edit” went wrong!

Yea the mirrors are titanium so i guess looking at that get them matched up

yes i would think Titanium or i havve seen Black chrome it looks good also personally gloss black on those alloys would not suit the car

I went for a black chrome refurb on my wheels and it doesn't look right (at all).

I agree with some of the previous comments and black wheels only seem to look good on certain cars (can't help much beyond that, it's a case of know it when you see it).

Best bet is to look at as many cars with black wheels similar to yours I suppose.

Here’s a pic of mine. Black on black. Very dark grey wheels for me next

I don't like black chrome. And black wheels generally don't work on a black car. If go for a grey of some sort like a titanium, gunmetal or anthracite.

I would keep them silver. Black wheels (or dark coloured) on a black car don't look good imho. I've just changed my wheels from gunmetal back to the original silver (on a sprint blue car). Wheels look bigger and makes the blue look a lot brighter as well.

Exactly what I think.
Dark wheels on a dark car make them look smaller than they are.
Everyone likes to think they've got an extra inch or two right!?!
Go for standard silver...

Audi Graphite,

Audi titanium.

Black on black.

I do like black but thinking about something slightly lighter for a change, anthracite maybe or I might go much lighter, titanium or similar.

Yea the black on blue look really good. I have to agree with black on black it dont seem to look right. So will either stick with the titanium or go graphite.

Thanks for your replys
