That because of the K04 Turbo ? :undecided:

Which part Steve?
The thirst of the earlier 2.0 TFSI engine, or the unpredictable behaviour of the Haldex 4WD system?

I think that looks spot on to be honest. Gloss black can look good but unfortunately every punter seems to have gone for black alloys recently. The anthracite gives it a more purposeful look than the silver but still looks classy. I've recently had my 17" Monza wheels finished in Anthracite.

I'll add though that I can understand why you're unsure. The R doesn't have any chrome work on it really and so the gloss black tends to blend in better with the colour scheme of the car. I'd stick with the wheels as they are though. Be confident!  :cool:
