Wow. Titanium Wheels in black?

[Mike00]

Ok so I have a Glacier White Metallic car on order and I'm dropping some winter tires on the stock 19inches and I had planned to pick up some titanium replicas. I just found black style tires which I have to imagine look amazing on white. Does anybody have any other pics on here of there cars with similiar tire wheels? Hoping for white but a good pic and maybe decent brand rim for similiar would make my week. (had planned hartmann)

For the record this is what I'm talking about: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/506675-Titanium-wheels-in-matte-black?highlight=titanium

Here's a quick photoshop. Not a B8.5 but you get the ideahttp://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww10/rarekker/blackti.jpg

These rims are an option in Canada on 13's. Here are mine. Love what you did with the photoshop. I'm sure they will look much better in the spring when I install the PSS10's.

Here are photos of my 2013 Glacier with the titanium reps (not black for compare)...I also threw in a photo of my current winters.

Some photos of my 13 with 20" replicas... In my opinion they complete the car... :). Love them!

After seeing the OP photoshopped black, think I'd go that route with Ibis. Typically not a fan of dark wheels, but that looks awesome on a white car.

Normally how I feel as well. Although the regular TI look amazing on White also. Now the only thing is I have not seen black ti wheels for sale anywhere. I'd love to find them because I'd drop them on in a heartbeat. But unless I find a reputable replica I'm probably going to go with the original TI. Still the black is so clean looking.

May I ask you where did you get them in size 20". That would be my ideal wheel! I have these in size 18" for winter.

The only place I've seen them is from the OEMPlus site here http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/audi/19-wheels/au510-19-matte-black-machined-face-et35-wheels-set.html But those are 19s. I went with Hartmann, which are more expensive, but more reputable. I don't think black works with silver anyway. Hartmann just received a big shipment of the TI reps, and mine are on the way. Can't wait!

See the price tag there is what would prob scare me off. Seems too cheap and yeah that was the one site I found as well. Man they just fit white so cleanly though.

Got my 20s at tire discounttiredirect.xxx. Wheel plus tire package all balanced are ready to mount shipped to CT for free... Great service. Very helpful and willing to take the wheels back if i wasn't happy with the quality. Needless to say that I love the wheels, look and quality is very very good. No problems thus far... And the roads where i live in CT suck ass!
Funny, I checked their web site today, and they only have 18's in stock. Give Ryan at ext 51832 a call. Great guy!

Yeah...the roads in CT are nightmarish ....and about to get worse with the upcoming winter weather.

[Duarte54]

FrankO- where are you in CT?

[Pootz]

I've seen black ones in Canada on a white A3 and I didn't really like them but this is all personal preference though. I personally like the Ti on white.

[MonSoonHell]

Schadenfreude - could you please photoshop the same black rims on a Monsoon Grey B8 S4?

Here are a couple of photos of mine...

Got them from OEM Wheels Plus. The quality has been pretty good and I am super happy with them.

Surprised to hear that. They are surprisingly cheap and I wonder what I'm giving up by paying half as much on wheels.

Wow! thanks for the photoshop. I sorta like the look... Thanks!

[Schadenfreude]

I like it. My only complaint is that the brake calipers blend with the black rims. Time for a bbk?

speaking of that site, i found these wheels on there that i really liked, and am confused.
http://www.oemwheelsplus.com/audi/19-wheels/au511-19-silver-et35-wheels-set.html

Under their fitment it doesn't list the B8 S4, but all the specs would suggest they do - 66.6 hubcentric, 5x112 bolt patter, 19x8.5 with 35et... what am i missing?

I'm confused as well....I'd like to know what these specs will look like on the car. Doing a search wasn't easy, how do you find out what this offset looks like once on?

so i actually just called these guys up. The guy who talked to me said that he's had other 2012 S4 owners who have ordered their wheels and they fit (the ones that are the right specs), but they just haven't had a B8 S4 available to them to test fit, so they didn't want to put that up on their site. Kind of makes sense.

as far as what the offset will look like, http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp has a calculator. But from all the reading i've done, i'm pretty sure 19x8.5 35et will work fine. somebody else can correct me if i'm wrong though.

[OmahaB8]

Schadenfreude can you photoshop those Black Ti's on my car below? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks Schadenfreude!

What do you guys think? I love the bottom pic where the appear a bit darker on the edges

I'm going to email OemWheelsPlus.com and see how much these things way too

[staticuxo]

i much prefer the titanium wheels in the stock gunmetal color the most.. you lose the detail in black wheels. i also love them in all silver, too, as i've see on a few RS5s in 20".

Can anyone photoshop a picture of an ibis white, with the lip-ish of the titanium wheels in white instead of chrome? but still maintain the black rims.

Here you go. The Ti wheels rim isn't chromed fwiw. It's more like a brushed finish, semigloss to flat with no real shine to it

I'd stick with the gunmetal and wouldn't hesitate to do it on a silver or white car. Hell, had they been available back when I started looking for a 2nd set, I would have gone with the replicas from Hartmann myself.
