Yeah, I think I'm going to keep them. They have a little bit of curb rash on them, but the B5 is going to be my winter car so I can live with it. I only paid $200 for the set too. Now I just need to find some tires to mount up and I'll post pics when it's done.

 

Here is a picture of Audina with 17" Sport edition F7 silver painted wheels.

What do you guys think? ugly? too much matching with the color of the car? perfect match?

 

It's hard to say on the color/brightness question cause there's so much shade on the wheels in that pic. I kinda like the wheels though. They don't say, "hey look at me I've got new wheels" but they also aren't as...um....gentlemanly as stock.

 

I'd say those are nice for $200 winter wheels. The road rash won't show that much because winter wheels are full of salty crap most of the time any way.

 

You guys are making me want to spend money again...

 

This is exactly why i like them. They're not too flashy, not too stock, they're just right!

I don't like chrome wheels, they look so gaudy and tacky.

I should have taken that picture in the sun and not the shade.

Thanks for the compliment, though.

 

I like it! I'm not a fan of chrome/polished wheels either. I'm typically a fan of darker wheels (anthracite) on silver cars to have a contrast, but yours looks nice.

 

Does anyone know how I would color match an OEM wheel if I wanted to touch them up and put some clearcoat on them before I put them on? This may call for another thread to be started, but was just wondering.

 

Thanks friend.
