My RS is silver and the alloys which are silver are needing a refurb soon. I love the dark grey wheels which are on the plus models, has anyone got this colour combo? Silver/Dark grey wheels?
Pics would be great

I think its a very stealthy look! I think I will get mine grey when they get refurbed.

I'm sure there was a paint code on the forum somewhere, although you might be as well just to use some reference from a picture as I presume a paint code may not be relevant to powder coat finish anyway?

Thanks Guys. Got mine refurbed 2 months back and wanted them the same colour but the guy has done them a light grey and he thinks it class but I dont. In fact I like them when they are dirty from brake dust!!
My car is black, do you think dark is the way to go? What about finish?

I had mine done
Actual colour is Titan Grey with satin Laquer

Now had them done in Porsche Black and satin laquer
A real pain to keep clean but I like the look, the titan was too close to the body colour

I've had the 4 from new, drove over 100,000 miles, numerous mods, headaches, joy, and shed load of depreciation.... The thought of selling it for £15k just seems ridiculous when I know it's replacement would be a darn sight less fun.
The 4 had to be replaced to continue claiming company car benefit from work. I was looking for a CSL due to a large number of track days, but with a young family and the 6+ on offer it was the logical choice. JamieG got me a great HP deal which made it all add up to a suitable solution.
I blame RS246.... I have to have Audis!! With times as they are, like everybody else, a little more money would be nice

Live for the moment

Trying to use the search on the forum here to see some other pics of black RS6's with darker wheels. Anyone show me some?
Comments although subjective are always welcome.
Thanks

Brake dust + Silver wheels =

Brake dust + Dark wheels =
