+1

The picture above just looks like dark grey brake dust wheels to me, not black.

I might be tempted to go for black wheels IF they really are black i.e. near as dammit match my Phantom Black paintwork.

Ideally would be after something with a gloss finish of somesort....Maybe ill go for a darker wheel with gloss effect such as anthracite. Seems half way in between

For me, black on black never quite works. If you do it, at least go for a matt finish.
And, it pays to have a bit of silver left to break it up.

This one isnt quite a RS4, but its black on black with a bit of silver left.

Black on Black= Track slag imo :)
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar
