RS6 Wheel Refurb Question - Opinons?
« on: 08 April 2008, 15:39 »
right as you guys know my mate sold me his old 18" rs6 alloys for £50 (yes £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?

Personally, I'd avoid dark colours, as they seem to get lost on dark/black cars.

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

he said he could do the lip diamond cut and the spokes black which could be interesting

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
