Selling the car - best wheel colour?

Post by dougle_turbo » Thu Jul 06, 2017 6:36 am

I've got a Black B7 RS4 loon that is going up for sale soon. I'm going to re-furbish the wheels before she goes, my default would be to get them done in Ti but does/will this put people off? Should I just get them in the standard colour (the rest of the car is completely standard).

Cheers

Audi titanium L8AU. But it's subjective. I would leave them and negotiate. If I was buying the car, I'd want them tittanium, so would be a shame they'd alreaady been refurbed silver, will be different for others.

Thats what I thought, but didn't want to put the buyer off by not having them done. Perhaps I'll list the car with the wheels as is.

If they are bad I'd get them done if you want to shift the car quick.
Kerbed wheels will put alot of people off, not the colour.
Either the Audi silver or titanium IMO.

Another vote for standard. I went with titanium after getting the car and to be honest silver looks best against the black IMO.
