Hi guys

As the title says, has anyone got any pics as I am thinking of having mine done.

Have done the usual searches and not come up with much.

Cheers

I was going to get black wheels for my Avus. I think it would look good if you have the black optic pack as well although there's not many fans of black wheels on this forum.

I know, I was not expecting too many thumbs up! They need a referb and I have black optics so I think it would look good IMO.

Pics please anyone

Search on Steve_70 on here - he had an Avus Avant with Titan wheels I think. Don't recall seeing any B7 RS4's with black wheels but I'm sure there's a couple of B5's out there.

I've got daytona avant with optics, did the mirrors and wheels in Matt/ satin black to match but after a year I'm thinking it's too Essex and going to change them to audi Titan.

Black looks fine as long as its not gloss black

Hi, very nice looking combo. I have just bought an Avus Avant and was considering darkening the alloys but not necessarily as much as black, more a graphite shade- anyone done this? Also, what are options for getting the exhaust tips done, mine are v dirty and would look better either cleaned up or given the matt black treatment per your picture?

Thanks. My exhaust is Miltek which i had powder coated matte black along with my wheels. If you're looking to change your exhaust, some of the companies offer a black tip option. Some other guys are using high temp paint that seems to be holding up. There are some DIY's in the quattroworld forums.

aka_dk painted his chrome tips with matt Hammerite IIRC.

Either paint the tips as mentioned,or get some autosol (metal polish) and give them a good clean,you will be amazed how well they will
come up

My HRE's were originally matt black but I didn't like it as you can't see the detail, gloss charcoal now. You can see the originals here:

Nice Almo,really like HRE's

yup

held up perfect

Hi, Autosol metal polish has worked a treat, with a bit of elbow grease. Thanks for the tip. May still end up painting them black in the future, but am happy with them clean for the minute!
