I'm not 100%. They were in the car when I had it and I thought anthracite. But when I got a set of 20" from a A5 cab the 20" are a touch lighter do not sure which is a Audi colour.

I know no help at all!!

Your previous colour is definitely anthracite, far too dark for Titan (L8AU). I think the new one with matching mirrors will look spot on.

I’ll see if I can find a side on image from when I did mine, so that you can compare :thumbs:

It's weird how a small thing like a slight colour change to the wheels can change the look of the car. It can take a bit of time to get used to the new look.

I prefer the titanium colour, give it some time before deciding to refurb again.
