I think the black wheels thing is just played out.

I like the first pic b/c it seems simple and more elegant looking that fits the appeal of an Audi. The second one makes me think of a Japanese tuner.

Either way, both look good, just think the first one is better [wrench]

I think that the 2nd is def cool, but what you got going on right now just looks stunning to me! Seems very sporty and very classy, usually I like blacked out cars, but I'd stick with that first one!

they are both suppa clean.

i dont like brushed look normally but the first one is really well done.

my car is blacked out as well so of coarse im partial to that one, but damn....i really like them both.

but if you have had the black out for a while, i would say go with something new.

well done.

BBS LMs is more elegant and luxurious.

Blacked out wheels are more sporty.

Depends on how you roll. I have a similar setup on the first pic.

Thanks for all the opinions guys.. now i'm even more confused [:D] The black would be more fun and more of a project to mod, but the LM's are so classy [confused]

Yeah, I agree. Though, black looks sick as well.

X2 - Black wheels are ok but when you paint them black, you might as well have some steel stretchies painted black. You can't see the design or texture of the wheel itself.

LMs 'nuff said. [up]

Well buddy, all I can say is that it all depends on you and whatever mood you're in on D-Day. You know I love the stealth/black look but the LM's are soo classy. The blacked out B6 you had was sick and done right (wish I had bought it) so maybe do this, start with the LM's cause it's a bit different for you and if you don't like it, you should be able to sell the LM's and get the VMR's and break even. Just a thought.

PS-your lights look sick sans-halo's!

#2 because those are my favorite rims and the car will look badass

depends what ur lookin for.. sport vs luxury.. i personally cant stand the sporty blacked out wheels etc.. that stuff was for my acura when i was 20.. im more into oem or clean look.. so id go 1st pic

11-16-2008, 08:04 PM
ever thought of black LMs? saw it on a 3-series looked incredible. (been looking for the pics for about 10 minutes now, can't find them, sorry. figured i'd just post up my thoughts without them.)

EDIT: also, (still cant find them), note i don't mean blacked out like eLusive's. Black face, silver step lip still. looks wicked.

Like the second, but are you going to paint your window trim?

I cant agree more...the COMPLETE black out doesn't float my boat anymore...seems everyone is going for that look. You will get more heads turned with your 1st pic setup...very classy but simple look.

I'd go with the first one. Black rims = played out and ugly. Unless your car's murdered out completely or you have a white car, black rims just make a car unattractive. Why anyone would try to hide $3000+ rims is beyond me. If you had some cheap, ugly ass wheels blacking out makes sense otherwise you should let them show.

Zebman

One.

b6onboost
11-17-2008, 01:25 PM
BY FAR Option 1.

The first pic looks super class with LMs, Brushed Mirrors, Grille, Ect. It also looks makes the car look more expensive and high class. The 2nd pic looks more aggressive, more stealthy, but whenever you black out things you can easily get a riced out look.

I have a black car. Its tinted, black grilles, ect. BUT...i won't black out the rings, emblems, lights, or run all black wheels because then it would look way too murdered out.

11-17-2008, 02:43 PM
depends on the look you want.. i think both wheels look hotttt.. 1st pic really classy the 2nd looks like you want to come out and play .. both are great just depends all on the look you want to go for.. and color match the amber i just posted on another thread ecstuning has color match ones.. mine will be here tomorrow.. car looks good

11-17-2008, 02:49 PM
it looks more like the Luxury Audi VS the Racing Audi. which look do you prefer. i love the racer look but for some reason your car looks more "expensively luxurious" with the BBS's.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Not feeling the black wheels anymore. EVERYONE has them now. You could say that everyone has silver wheels too, but the appeal of the black wheels was that not many people had them in the beginning. Now that everyone does, the silver ones actually look better overall.

LM's for sure. More classy. 1st pic gets my vote

Good for you. LM's are very sexy wheels and black/anthracite wheels just don't seem to flow with metallic colors IMO. Black, red, imola, ibis can pull off dark wheels but they don't work for my eye on silver/dolphin etc.

Everyone's got LM's. V710's are quiet new, be fresh. [:D]

We might have 1 set of V710's in Matte Black for our pre-order list in late Dec. shipment if you are interested.

Here's some more pics of Matte Black, just to tease. [:p]
