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. Pics:  (As it is now)   Let me know what you guys think. KC |

It looks like you need to clean your wheels. Silver

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. |
