Taking my wheels of to get powder coated the next couple of days, cannot decide what colour, any pics of red cars with different wheel colours

You have black optics or alu?

Black optics on it

In it

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

Yes was thinking Gunmetal

Just google it, there will be loads on there

Yes going gunmetal or anthracite

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.

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

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.

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.
