scroll down a little bit to see the 3 rims... maybe someoen could post pics of a black s4 with gunmetals? because im tending to fall in that direction

Okay so i searched and found out that the gunmetals and onyx blacks flake.. a major turnoff as I will be spending 800. Can anyone confirm this? and also i love this wheel and color can anyone confirm its a vmr rs4 rep?? or some other company because the other hypersilvers ive been looking at doesnt have this sexy ass tone to them:

I had gunmetal and they never flaked. I did manage to bend/crack two of my VMR wheels and have thus moved on to a different set of wheels. The bending/cracking was due to a huge rock on the highway that I couldn't avoid, so it's not the wheels' fault. I loved the look of gunmetal on black personally.

Really old pic:

That tone looks to be due to some color correction. Look at the windshield and side mirrors.

You're welcome and thanks. They're OEM S6 LEDs. Complicated install...here's my thread about it. Had my local shop do it. I was originally going to DIY it but after seeing some fitment issues I didn't want to screw up my bumper.

enigma: is that the stock sport suspension your running? i love that pic!

[enigma1406]

I have Bilstein PSS9 coilovers. Stock suspension would be about 2 inches more wheel gap I think.

Thank you man!! if the price of the LEDs werent 400 dollars i would DEFF consider this as my cars front bumper needs repainted. i might save up though and get them. i wonder if they are cheaper at the dealershop(i also get a 10% discount, and tax exemption)

LOL does the amount of wheel weight, on a new wheel concern you?
