    I'm actually considering getting my stock 17's coated the same color. The brake dust stays caked on them so thick, might as well have the wheel be that color. I swear, I wash my car and the wheels are coated in brake dust before I can blink.

    they're pretty hot presently, though gunmetal would look good if the coating had enough depth to it (flat ≠ hot)

    Re: Want your opinion on this.

    Do you really need to change?

    I think your wheels look great the way they are, you should focus that money in clear corner, blacking out headlights, maybe some S4 door blades.

    I like your car, I think you are doing great.

    Re: Want your opinion on this.

    Leave as-is, I've never liked dark rims (gunmetal or black) on Quartz grey unless more of the car is blacked out, it just doesn't fit.

    Lovin' the ride otherwise Pete!
