Need shoes for my lady in red.

[Roebear]

I'm having a tough time trying to figure out what color wheels would work on my Red RS7 with aluminum trim. I have black winter wheels on them right now and while it doesn't look bad, I want something with a bit more pop. The trim is oddly the thing that's throwing me for the biggest loop. Will satin bronze wheels be a weird contrast? Brighter aluminum wheels contrast too much with the trim?

So I ask you, group of Audiphiles, what should I consider?

Halp.

[madyspop]

I'll trade you my 21" HRE's for your stocks?

[Roebear]

Ah think I'm looking for something with slightly less lip. Thanks though!

[tonymission]

You have a pic with the winters on? Always liked red on black, but I hear you about the trim...

[Dad A3]

Were it me, I would look for the closest match to all the silver (mirror caps, front grill, window trim) that I could find in a style size that you like the most.

[MacFady]

+1 to Dad A3, you'll be fighting all that satin otherwise.

[fatboydelights]

+2 to Dad A3. I think the only way to pull the other colors off would be to black out the trim.

[swope]

I think the obvious choice is brushed aluminum.

[achan]

I think a brushed aluminum lip/barrel and a darker (charcoal/gray) face could also work. Whatever you do, don't go with a polished lip/barrel as it is a PITA to keep clean

[S6Express]

I too am in favor of the brushed aluminum for your car. It'll match the silver accents and pop with the lady in red. Here's a shot of HRE's clear brushed with the satin colored mirrors on a white car with red accents:

[markreed]

I say you go bronze wheels and wrap all your aluminum with bronze...

[Brooklyn]

You have brushed aluminum accents, but you also have a fair amount of dark highlights (grill, tint, the area surrounding the radar cameras, etc). I think you could very easily do a light gray (gunmetal) color and still come away with a cohesive look. Something in a matte aluminum color would also work well, but frankly I don't think it's necessary. The window trim, mirror covers, front grill surround, and the aluminum "air" scoops or whatever calls those things all compliment each other. Adding 21" of wheel face to that isn't really necessary and I don't think a darker wheel would look out of place.

[redrocker55]

Brushed Aluminum...to match the mirrors, door trim and grille insert. I like wheels that compliment the entire car...I don't like wheels that stand out so much they distract from the car. IE...don't go optic neon green.

[4RingRook]

Keep aluminum. Go bronze.

I kept all aluminum on my white S5 and have bronze wheels. Love the look.

[Sean@TAG]

I shot you an email a little earlier. I agree with the brushed setup. Meshes perfectly with the Aluminum trim. Give me a shout when you can! In the mean time, here are some we have done recently.

I opened this thread and promptly shat myself upon gazing at your car's beauty. Just wanted to share that!

When I was anticipating a red A7, I decided on a polished Cognac. Sort of a brass with some red in it. It in the Bespoke Level 3 section of this post.

I'm not against it, but just feels kinda dirty.

HRE P101 in brushed clear

[bobamoo]

Brushed aluminum/silver, or gray. Nothing darker.

[turbello18]

Agree with brushed. Embrace those accents. Dark doesn't do that. I'm also not seeing how a white car with gold rims has any relevance.

lol I don't want to start any fights by accident...

Looking like leaning towards aluminum as youre right, the trim is going to look weird. If I do go dark something with a brushed/polished edge might look good too.

Do you like these? I just put them on last week and I'm not in love with them, I think they are a little too dark on my Glacier white. They are the new Ultra light wheel by Forgeline with hidden titanium fasteners. Centers are a dark gunmetal which was a one off color that they don't normally offer, lips are polished with clear coat and inners are powder coated the same color as the centers. I was thinking to just have them redone in a lighter shade but I'm going to go with a new mono block wheel instead. They are 21x9.5 square with 275/30/21 EVO 2 tires.

By the way - the red looks damn sharp. That's a great looking RS you have there...

After thinking about it overnight I think I'm going to stay away from dark wheels and do brushed aluminum or something absurd. Thanks though!
