Defo dark wheels with black optics, something like a gunmetal or anthracite. I don't have any photos though I'm afraid.

I have black wheels currently but I’m getting them done silver as soon as I can. They just look lost against the bright paint.

I went through the same quandary with my RS6 winter wheels recently and decided on a grey that matched the grey parts of the performance wheels (the other set). The powder coating place i went to called it "Audi Grey - Matt". Not an RS4 and not red, but here are some pics. This would work on a red car too I think.

Currently running:
18 plate Lamborghini Huracan Performante (5.2l of V10 naturally aspirated craziness)
67 plate RS6 Performance (fully loaded)
66 plate Range Rover Autobiography (for wafting around)
16 plate Mini Cooper S convertible (lots of fun but rather skittish when thrashed)

Favourite car ever owned:
1971 Citroen DS21 - The Goddess (pure art on wheels)

I really don't see the point of winter tyres in this country, especially on a performance car; in my own opinion, no offence.
Your RS6 looks monster :thumbs:

Audi grey = titanium = Titan = LA8U paint code. Which was offered on both C5 RS6+ and B7 RS4’s. Expect it’s the same colour on newer models too as per Zappy’s C7’s. Best option I think! Looks good in either factory matt or gloss lacquer. Suits red with black optics too.

What colour are your mirrors?

I am guessing you don't live in the boonies of Scotland. :bigblink:

But you are mostly right. We haven't had much snow and ice yet and some winters there isn't much at all. Last winter was an absolute shocker though and why I put winter tyres on. Sods law it will be a sissy winter this year and I will have wasted my time (and money). But if it snows like a bXstard then I'll be laughing.
