Gonna get my standard wheels powder coated not sure whether to keep them silver or go for black or anthercite.

Can't seem to find any pics of standard wheels powder coated black or antracite!

I have a black avant.

any one got any pics or can photo shop?

If it's any help, this is mine:



Ming Blue Pearl saloon with anthracite powder coated standard wheels. I really like them, though it does get called a drug dealers car by some and they may have to be changed for big brakes.

My Ming Blue S4 looks nothing like that. How the hell have you got it to look so glossy?

Bit of a cheat in bumping the levels in the shadows of the photo to bring out the detail in the blacks.

That is a bloody good photo, makes it look soooo shiny

Thanks, that sure does look shiny.

I like the wheels, might go for slightly lighter shade of matt grey.

Dog you thinking of selling your wheels if you get bigger barkes?

Woof!
I will be selling them but to be honest I'm trying to hold off as long as I can. Just taken voluntary redundancy and not looking for work till Nov so ~£2k on new wheels and brakes seems a little foolish right now, as tempting as it is!

I'd say go for it, I really like the stealthy look it gives.

just found these on ebay 18" with new tyres less than £500.
rs4 replicas, anyone tried these?

Got the same reps on mine, paid about £650 though and got Yokohama Parada tyres. I think they look ok, but have noticed they scratch pretty easy need to be careful when removing or replacing....
