What to do? Which Color?

« on: January 27, 2012, 04:08:22 PM »
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.

Let me know what you guys think.

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. >:(

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.
