need new color scheme advice on my b8.5

[lownslow4.2]

whatsup guys, haven't really been much around the boards but heres my car

2014 A4 S-line with Vossen cvt's 19x10 all around 38 offset and 255/35/19 tires, it rubs a good amount in the back when theres people in the car
also put the rs4 grill and lowered the car on some ST coils
i only have a K&N typhoon intake, but i was planning on going stage 1, still debating if its worth the consequences to get it

i have had the white wheels for about a year now, but i am already bored of them and what to know what color would go well to match my car, i would also be changing the color of the front rings and rear rings

open to suggestions, the white wheels are a nightmare to clean so I'm ready for a new color

working on it, i wasn't able to get the attachment option

Black wheels would match your grille and windows. If you hate black, gunmetal would also work.

[booost]

I think it looks very nice as is .

itd look great on metallic grey wheels.

same color as the wheels

[lownslow4.2]

same color as the wheels

exactly, but should i stay with white or switch it all up? the rims have some curb rash so I'm going to paint them regardless

[adamazing]

I think the right traditional silver wheels with a polished lip would set it off.

If you're more ambitious, a gold/copper/bronze combo would look great too.

switch. imo white wheels look jdm..

i highly suggest metallic grey tho.

i was thinking of going a little more extreme, would red be too much? like a gloss

Nah, then you're on the verge of looking a little over-patriotic.

[SleeperCar]

well...i love seeing my color out there :)...i have some pics of silver....somewhere lol

This is a real RS4 that has the front lip...im not sure it would look right because you already have the blacked out wheel trim and blacked out grille.


Here is a really crappy pic of my old wheels on my old suspension...but my car is a tad different because i have silver surround on my grille and windows.

not gonna lie i really like the traditional silver, but i had the car like that for a while

i honestly like the white a lot don't get me wrong, but having to clean them every 2 days is a hassle so i just stopped cleaning them, getting inside the wheel well is a b****

i was thinking of the gold i was going to do that initially , what could i paint my brake calipers to go along with that?

yes! thats exactly what i wanted to do to my front lip, a simple wrap, how much do you think that would run around?

and nice we have the same exact car what suspension are you running? and i saw that your running the 034 downpipes, did you have any problems bringing the car into the dealer like that?

i get you, i just feel like the metallic gray is a little bland and overplayed i wanted to do something that will stand out

[Crucible35]

Car looks great as is...... messing with it could lead you in the wrong direction......you can stand out without looking tacky.....(Ricey)

[Smellie]

I think a copper/gold/bronze type of color would be great on the wheels.

[adamazing]

That's a good question, and one that I've been wrestling with for a while. I have an idea for mine, but it's pricey and I'm keeping it a secret.

[jokingjimmy]

My subjective opinion lol:

First, I hate white wheels. No offense, but I just hate them.

So my vote is
1. gunmetal
2. bronze

For some reason, black always looks unfinished, like it's primer. But then again, that's just me.

I second this. I rarely see blacked-out cars or black wheels in general that I find appealing. Just personal preference though.

for a show set, gold/copper/bronze is what i was planning but my wife thinks id look like a gangster rapper hahaha.

unless you are BBK, go with a black caliper under a bronze wheel. Its overkill to have crazy colors on an OEM brake caliper. I had to change my idea because i was initially thinking red painted calipers but i think highlighting an OEM caliper is wierd. Black or silver finish would be best IMO, especially with a flashy bronze wheel

Pffft, do it anyway.

Mine said the exact same thing. I settled for gunmetal. GUNmetal......

most likely going to do the gold then, should i do the rings as well?

[lownslow4.2]

is it the flourescent wraps? I have seen them on a few cars down here in miami, this place called Rod speed is doing them

and do you think if i were to do the gold wheels, should i wrap the front bumper bottom lip in gold swell? or is that too much?

[blbroo]

The chrome rings on the grille and trunk? NOOOO

Would you change the color of our nations flag to match your house? In my mind, the chrome rings are to stay chrome.

[booost]

the chrome rings are to stay chrome.
