Title: RS6 Wheel Refurb Question - Opinons?
Post by: Ashmond on 08 April 2008, 15:39: right as you guys know my mate sold me his old 18" rs6 alloys for Ã‚£50 (yes Ã‚£50) with 2 tyres. I need to get them refurbed, as one of them had a few bad scratches. He even threw in some ".:R" (r32 'r') centre caps!

But the question is that im going to get them refurbed tomorrow at my mates place and he has asked me what finish I want, just wanted opinons whether to go for ancarite (sp), flat silver, black, gun metal or what, he can literally do any colour, my car is a black 3 dr mk4, these are the wheels (not the actual ones):

Opinions please?

Can he do a 'crystal liquid silver' with metalic flecks in? Some guy was doing these on some Anni rims on ebay - Mint.

Post by: GUY_GTI on 08 April 2008, 16:34: my mate did some the same into black they looked mint, my black rims on my black 3dr look pretty sweet, ive seen a black 3dr with the wheels done into a dark bronzy type colour that looked good

Post by: Ashmond on 08 April 2008, 16:37: he said he could do the lip diamond cut and the spokes black which could be interesting

Post by: GUY_GTI on 08 April 2008, 16:40: yeah you dont see that done on that style of wheel, give it a whirl, better than totally black

Post by: Ashmond on 09 April 2008, 16:14: the a8's are diamond cut, couldnt do that on the faces because they arent flat, its silver but a bit brighter then just powder coat
