Wheels

Post by M88DUS » Mon Feb 01, 2010 9:19 pm

Has anyone got pics of a black RS4 with either black or grey wheels? Managed to skuff one, so thought I might go for a colour change at the same time as getting it repaired!

Not sure to be honest. More pics here:

Titanium ones look better though if you find a picture of those.

Black just makes the alloys look small. Titanium is good.

imho - and the thing is with black on black - any other visible component thats not quite clean (ie calipers, hubs etc, bolts etc) seems to show up more and the normal bolt/hub discolouration you can get away with when "wearing" normal rims is emphasised with the black/black set up

if that makes sense...

if all buffed up and every visible item thru the black rims is clean n dandy - it looks good but then the tyres dont "seem" that black then either LoL

Hmmm... that car does look a little high... and with the black wheels, it actually makes them look more like 18" rather than 19"! May be not a good look after all.

What about anthracite? Like the GTR in black with anthracite wheels... that looks good!?

Not the best photo, but this has the M5 alloy colour. Think its called shadow chrome or similar. no doubt somebody will be along and remind me shortly.
