OK,
When I got the Passat, it came with 3 BBS CH-028 Audi 18X8 wheels.
I have finally located another (4 months of heavy looking).  The wheels I got from Gary are powdercoated black and the other is OEM Audi Reflex Silver.  I am planning on having them all powder coated the same color (approx. $350).  I loved the Black ones untill I saw the Reflex silver.  With my Beige / Tan color (Savannah Beige) I am not so sure about any colors and what would look good.  If I go with black, I am going to finish blacking out the rest of the trim as well.
Just wanted some opinions, like I said - I liked the black all right and I like the silver pretty good as well, but just wanted some other's opinions / ideas, before I go ahead and powder coat these.

It looks like you need to clean your wheels. Silver

Silver please.   Black looks like you use your brakes to much.  I never have liked black alloy wheels. Angry

Black wheels are for the "Bro's" and "Saki-Suckers"

I see it up close in person at work all the time.  Close up in the bright sunshine, the black wheels look good . . . but I have to agree that from a distance it looks like it's sitting on a set of donuts.
