Wheels Options

Post by stumpyrs4 » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:01 pm

Ok so as we know from recent posts I've just bought a Mauve RS4 :shock:

It has OEM 9-spokes. Quite keen at some point to do something to the wheels.
The car I feel, needs some colour to break up the 'silver-ness'? So either keep the OEM wheels or change them at the same time.

Do I :

a) refurb/leave the OEM's as is
b) refurb OEM's and paint anthracite
c) buy some secondhand MTM's (c£700) get em refurb'd and/or painted anthracite
d) Buy some C5 RS6 reps and paint anthracite
e) Buy some C6 RS6 reps and paint anthracite




What do we reckon?

Does anyone have any pics of Mauve (!) RS4's with coloured rims??

Ta

Have seen them on in silver but no grey ones on an Avus RS4...
Not great on Photoshop, but I'm sure someone will have a pic somewhere...

:bowdown:

Do you have a front splitter-type thing, beneath the front spoiler? Hard to tell from that photo.

Not sure, a bit too much lip for me...
