Should I?

...paint my wheels bronze?


thats a photoshop of it...let me know. i cant decide.

p.s.- i have yellow fogs,red "porsche" brakes,and soon the roof and mirrors will be black. thinking it might be too many different colors...

[s4quattro187]

I think it would look good with a different wheel other then the stockies, maybe something with a lip. Its your car tho I dont think it would look horrible or anything.

[Daness373]

Ya i'm thinking two many different colors. Just save up and go with some different wheels. Thats your best bet. But its your car and maybe it will turn out good, i just think that many of us on the forums are gonna say don't do it ha. Good luck if you decide to though, and be sure to post up pics if you do

[BurnAll4S4]

i dont know what you mean by 'porsche' brakes since porsche 4pot brakes wont fit under those wheels anyway.

but anyway it looks horrible in bronze. i dont see peoples desires to paint perfectly fine wheels. whats wrong with silver wheels?

[RogueStatus]

if im getting wheels theyd be some porsche twists or carrera wheels or b6 s4 wheels. never was into aftermarket wheels cuz the roads around here would destroy them (like my previous cars) haha.

the silver is all pitted and have some rust colored spots...look gross. so either i paint em silver or bronze.

and as for the "porsche" brakes here ya go: (it was made to be a joke,friend of mine brags about his)


i'll be painting those black soon probably haha.

[BurnAll4S4]

oooo ok ok i gotcha. well personally i would just redo them silver, not a fan of funny colors. but i will push you to get the porsche twists though. :)

[FrimmelNoJerz]

since you're clearly legally blind let me help you find the answer.

no.

[RogueStatus]

technically i am pretty color blind haha.

[MiniRS4]

since you're clearly legally blind let me help you find the answer.

no.

LOL, too funny.

but yea... what is the deal w all you kids makin your friggin Audi's look like ROMPER ROOM?

the cars are conspicuous enough just on looks... then add the obnoxiously loud DP/exhaust combo, and speed/acceleration... and finally the fact that 99% of you drive like a$$holes.

yall just askin for trouble... grow-up a lil... all this 2tone/color/CF nonesense is reDONKulous.

sorry for the rant, i just hate it... its a bad representation for audi owners/drivers/community... etc...

im w Justin on this one...

late night rant? haha chill.

1. i have a full stock exhaust
2. i actually cruise at 65-70mph (gas prices suck if you werent aware)
3. unpainted CF is rice.
4. 2-tone is terrible on just about any car in the world.
5. its bronze,not red,not lime green,not blue with a pink lip. just dont wanna do black like everyone else (not to mention i dont like the way it looks)

yea mang. i feel ya, its all love... im just put off by all the newbz/oldskoolers etc makin their cars look like sideshows...

as for color... bronze aint the worst... it can work... but do you wanna drive around being "that guy?"

sticks out too much IMHO, but i feel you on played out BLACK... its tough... just go w a nice shade of silver i guess.

cheerio,

[hyperlight944]

hey man the way i see it ... if your gonna paint your wheels anyways i would try it out and worst case just re-sand them and just paint em a flat or gloss black (or anything you want) .....(imo i think either of those would look stellar with a black roof) but any who just remember to sand a lot and use a good primer for the paint to stick ..... if you wana see what they look like bronze you could seran wrap them (very hard) and paint that to check it out ... but thats alot of work if you ask me good luck
cheers man

[tike0rz]

I like the bronze on any color, EXCEPT silver. It doesn't look at home, simply put. Get the porsche twists and call it a day, with your fake porsche brakes....lmao.

BTW get a better house.

[RogueStatus]

haha thats not my house,its a friends house (its in the HOOOD of worcester haha) i live in an apartment with a beautiful 2 car garage that hold an e46 m3 (roomates) and my s4.

but yeah im skeptical about painting them gold. might spray em,see how they look, and respray em silver if i dont like it.

[b5rs4]

honestly I don't like the bronze on your silver car but you can't go wrong with black....

[tike0rz]

Why, if he has a silver car on stock rims, do you post a picture of a santorin car with aftermarket rims? I don't think that helped him one bit. If anything, PS the stock rims on his car to be black.

[RogueStatus]

black stockers FTL. theyre played.

[J-tec]

naaaaaaaaaaa don't do it, just get different wheels. those things weigh a ton and don't look that good IMO

[CruzS4]

I don't really like the bronze idea but I think copper might look interesting, das had his BBS wheels painted copper and i don't think they looked too bad...

btw yes i know the wheels in question on this thread are stock avus, i was just referring to the color, i'm sure we can use our imagination here... i've always liked gunmetal/anthracite powdercoated stock avus too

[nizmosx]

if your gona paint them do gunmetal. i have toyed with wanting different wheel colors.

here is what i came up with.

silver as it sits now



Gunmetal photochop i made


Bronze photochop i made (bronze looks great on pearl)


i ended up leaving the wheels as is in silver finish.

[OldYella]

If you want twists.... http://www.motorgeek.com/phpBB2/view...830&highlight=

I had been eyeing them but other expenses have come up.

[Das General]

Epic Failure on my part. J/K this was back in my O.G. days. I still dig it and will paint my next set high gloss black.

i like the fenders what did u use to roll them out ?

[Das General]

he spent an uber amount of $$$ to get that setup...he didn't just roll the fenders.

[CruzS4]

yea, not my car (i should have specified) but yea that guy is nuts with it, very nice custom bodywork, not generic WB

you're my boo 4 life.

[FrimmelNoJerz]

see i find das eighty to be very interesting. you know how you always have that one friend who can get away with really random weird things like slapping a girl or wearing really weird clothes and noone really complains but they always laugh fondly and says "oh that just ____." he's a character(because its NEVER a girl) das eighty is the car version of that. he just does what he likes and you're going to end up loving him for it. having said that...dont try to imitate him because you may end up looking silly.

[twinsnailsS4]

If you are planning on going with a different color, gunmetal gets my nod

[skunkoncrunk]

Unique? Yes.

Good looking? No.

[AMC]

imho painted stockers look gross and played out, time to get rimz yo

[GQ//S4]

Hell no. Painting stock wheels is retarded.

And whoever says "well its his car, he's the only one who likes it" I blame for the epidemic of fat chicks in bikinis, because dammit, if more people decided that bikini tops are the only thing that should be available in large, while the bottoms shouldn't go above a medium, we would be MUCH better off!

Gun metal is speachless But not on stock wheels

[immortalz]

Aesthetics could be a matter of personal taste, but in my opinion mixing silver with gold (or copper/bronze for that matter) hues is to be avoided at all costs.

A black or white car with gold/copper/bronze looks great. All other combinations with gold are not to be considered lightly...

So everyone has to conform to what you like? And if they don't, they are retarded?

Just checking, I want to get it straight.


Seems really well said... =/

To the OP:

Don't even worry, as far as opinions you aren't going to have people love your car here unless you have b5 or b7 RS4 reps for wheels, ecodes, and lowered (but not too much) with an rs4 grill and a debadged rear for your S4.

Originality is pictured as "rice" now...so go away you euro ricer or put on your flame suit! /sarcasm

[GetAudiHere]

I honestley love bronze wheels but only if they are on like BBS Lm's or something close to that. I think someone with an RS4 just posted up some pics of his. Looked good to me!

[Siena]

Gold / bronze wheels look great on dark-colored cars.

Black wheels have never done it for me.
