    Gunmetal. If you want to go matte black later, you can always break out the paint.

    I feel that silver wheels look more classy. Black and gunmetal are more sporty.

    Re: V710 matt black or gunmetal??

    I think MB would look pretty nice, but it would definitely be super aggressive.

    Heres a pic of MB V708's on a grey B7 just for reference.

    Re: V710 matt black or gunmetal??

    OP (quincyuk) Wondering if you went with Gunmetal for this? If so, can you post some pics?

    I'm wondering if the Gunmetal against DG eventually cancels each other out and makes everything look plain, or if it's the perfect compromise between hyper silver (i agree it's classier) and matte black (aggressive).

    Re: V710 matt black or gunmetal??

    The lighter the color, the more curvy it looks. I would say if you have tint and Ti package, get the MB, otherwise, get GM, even though the classic silver may look better on your car without Ti package.

    You can use my picture to do a photoshop, here is a side pic for you:

    I just need some visuals... anyone have pics of gunmetal 710's (or gunmetal wheel) on Dolphin Grey? I just need to see how good it would look. I'm looking to do Silver RS4 grille sometime in the future too... hyper silver with Silver RS4 grille?
