well.. ive been thinking over it.. and hell.. i mean whats the worst that could happen.. they arent expensive wheels for replicas.. and im sure if i dont like them.. i can get rid of them on ebay or something.. it might actually turn out to look awesome... .. and then yay me..

unless someone can show me some pics of this setup.. and i think that it looks bad.. then im more than likely gonna give it a try..

i did a photoshop job of the pic i posted.. but its hard to get that "glossy" look..


gotta get my suspension 1st [:'(]

those are S4 wheels? how much do they cost? I'm pretty sure they're the same ones that are on the A4 I'm buying.

IMHO, if I may, I wouldn't put dark wheels in my car. I'm just not into that look. From far away it looks like I hit a pot hole and lost my hubcaps.

But dude, if you really like the look and will feel happy with it, go for it. If it turns out you don't, I don't think you'll have a problem selling them on ebay or somewhere else. Im sure there are many people out there with the same black rim fetish.

Oh no! If you want a woman's opinion... those are awful! I wouldn't do it. But then again, that is just a woman's view... It's too dark, and looks like something is missing...maybe if they were a little "less black" (like chrome...LOL) just kiddin'. If you like it, do it, but personally, I don't like the look.
