Wheel colour change

Thinking the daytona avants looks better with the titanium wheels, but I don’t have the optics pack so not sure if it will work. Has anyone with a Daytona RS4 done the same?

Pics below of what I'm thinking..

IMO if you are going titanium on the wheels then you need to do the wing mirrors and roof bars as well if an Avant, mirrors if a saloon.

hi had my wheels painted titanium on my sprint blue along with the rs badging on front and rear plus rear doors
very pleased very subtle
do not have optic pack
to me it looks just right if you have the wing mirrors done then i think you need the rest of the chrome painted
the avant in the pictures looks the business optic with titanium wheels

I keep thinking about this, just because the wheels are such a pain to keep clean!

They do look good with the optics all done....too much on my black car though...

My biggest hurdle seems to be how to get the wheels off and sent to be re-sprayed. Some companies offer an exchange, I assume that’s you taking their alloys which have already been refurbished?

Has anyone recently changed the roof rails on a B7? It would be interesting to know how much of the headlining I need to remove and how difficult it is to put back together as good as new.
