    Question Gunmetal or Bright silver wheels on a black A3?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hi guys I want to buy a set of Enkei EKM3 18x8 for my brilliant black A3, Should I go with Gunmetal or Bright silver? I'm having trouble with choosing which color is better.

    Also, which offset should I choose, I know ET35 looks pretty good but my car is lowered and I'm afraid it will rub the fender. But I don't want to go with ET45, sounds too much for me

    Had a similar issue...

    Do you have Black Optics?

    If yes, gunmetal
    If no, bright silver

    Some days I like the chrome trim, some days not with my gunmetal rims

    Mine is just premium so I assume is similar to black optics(no aluminum trim )

    Love these rims and the look of your S3! I have an S3 in Mythos black, with blackout and red calipers. You helped me decide which route I should go for winter rims, thx!!!
