Black 20s
RE: Black 20s
Looks bad Doug, but maybe that's the reaction you want? Silver finish would go better with the chrome mirrors / roofrails (I thought you were removing these?)

RE: Black 20s
i don't have the chrome mirrors and rails - it is the brushed ones - but they are coming off when it goes for the paint. the pictures are not great for showing how it looks but i am not keen(i think) on the new fad of satin black wheels.

RE: Black 20s
Gunmetal would look better but I think the problem is the multi spoke style, the Titan Silver (gunmetal) 5 spokes on RS6+ look ace!

Re: RE: Black 20s
the rs6 style wheel looks really bad on an rs4 - good in 19s on an s4 and look good on an rs6 - ashes RS4 used to have them on - not a good look!neckarsulm wrote:Gunmetal would look better but I think the problem is the multi spoke style, the Titan Silver (gunmetal) 5 spokes on RS6+ look ace!

RE: Black 20s
Sorry Doug, I meant brushed! Are you getting the mirrors colour-coded green then?
I prefer these 20" wheels though

RE: Black 20s
Its the cost of tyres that worries me though! Are they right offset or do you need spacers?

RE: Black 20s
spacers on the S8s - but the bolt on spacers are fine - and H&R have dropped prices recently on them.
I don't think i would track the rs4 with 20s on just becasue of the price of tyres.

RE: Black 20s
Looks good but I think would be better if your car had the black optics.
Given the silver rails and window surrounds I'd have stuck with Silver wheels and yes I can hear the ear bashing you are going to get already!!!!!! Or have you had it?

RE: Black 20s

Did we ever get to the bottom of which wheel this was, and what car is on?Nige_RS4 wrote:Sorry Doug, I meant brushed! Are you getting the mirrors colour-coded green then?

RE: Re: RE: Black 20s
Those look like new s8 20" wheels.
If the black stays the silver goes.
I am supposed tobe getting a nother set of 20" S8 alloys - if i get them i will try them in silver.
I'll get the car cleaned and take some proper pictures for next week.
