Guys need an opinion. Basically as you can see in the pics my b7 saloon is all black with black wheels and it looks good. For some reason though im thinking of changing the wheels from black to an anthracite colour. Reason being the black wheels doesnt let you know what the wheels look like if you know what i mean.
Ive attached the colour i want from a c6 alloy. Anyone got this?
Its not letting me upload pictures but anyone got an pucs of what it would look like?

The Audi Titan / Titanium colour for Audi is L8AU. It was used on the C5 RS6+ and B7 RS4 with titanium package, and subsequent other Audi's. It's a Matt finish. Best colour I reckon.

That was the first thing I did when I got the car. I do really like the silver though.

Another vote for the OEM titanium color.

Mini graphite grey on the rotors and anthracite on the 19s.
Off topic, but what size tires do you have on those rotors?

Alloy colours on these cars is a dangerous game!
I'm going to get new boots fitted so a wheel refinish is standard for me but do I stick to original factory silver on Mugello with standard silver trims or do I go for Titanium L8AU??

255/30/20 on the rotors. Makes it the same overall height and width as the OEM 19" tyres.

Not the best pictures, but gives you an idea. Only one with the silver. Rest in Titanium L8AU done by Prestine Wheels.

You think L8AU?
Who would you reccommend i give the wheels to?
I dont want to use my local guys they didnt do too good a job on my previous alloys.
Any pics of how L8AU would look on a black car?
