RE: Painted Wheels?
yea they turned out a little darker then i imagined, although those pictures are at dusk il take some daylight ones a little later, but white would have been impossible to keep clean. and im one of those people that if my wheels are dirty i have to clean them.... so this would take up way too much of my time hah. in the somewhat distant future i plan on getting a carbon fiber hood and trunk possibly so i figured a dark color would fit in in the end. i think il try painting the audi rings on the hubs white or silver next time i get a chance.

RE: Painted Wheels?
search for lebe frei, I think it was him who had his in Gunmetal but then he moved out to middle of nowhere Ohio and hasn't been on in a while.
IF your car is gunmetlal, I would go with probably sticking to alloy wheels, or maybe polishing them but I'd stay away from black wheels/ or other dark colors, personally.
Also white wheels might work, or a white lip on gray wheels.
and for the guy with the White Audi who is gonna paint his calipers, I'd paint em white, so that the theme works together.
