Alloy Wheel Refurb

[Harry_vRS]

So, my wheels are a shambles and are booked in for a refurb on Wednesday.

Which colour do you think suits the car best?

OEM Silver / Anthracite / Gloss Black?

OEM Silver

Anthracite

Gloss Black

[Robshaw]

Orange.

[chrisw880]

Anthracite, for me

[ednmra]

Silver - the black always reminds me of steel wheels where an owner has left the plastic trim off (no offence!!!)

[TrevorB33]

what about gold or dark bronze?

[VRSDanny]

high power black -

[Harry_vRS]

I'm leaning towards anthracite, similar to an Audi RS6

Yes, this!

[Harry_vRS]

Anthracite it is then

[Wardy]

Agree

[pist0nbr0ke]

Anthracite mate-with your tints it should look stunning. (From a matt black wheel owner )

Oh, and the best rim protector is your steering wheel...

Now I'll probably scuff mine today

[Harry_vRS]

Most of the damage is from lacquer corrosion so they ain't too bad, and I fancy a change

[Rockatansky]

Im going for this colour its called PEWTER

From a website called TOP MARQUES in Stoke on trent they might be able to give you the paint code

Smoked chrome would look the nuts with the silver coachwork! But anthracite would be my second choice, I will be going for either the smoked or the black chrome when funds allow.

Check out Bluvrs's race blue octy.

Sorry matey, second choices don't count.

We're voting "first past the post" not AV!

:p

[Harry_vRS]

Going for the dark anthracite like the Audi RS6 pictured above with a satin finish. Pics tomorrow night when I collect them

this is what i said so most deffinately agreed...

in fairness - the anthricite will look the mutts also, just very popular these days.

Almost. :p

High power black is a different finish to the Smoke and Black Chrome iirc.

oh right thought it was same/similar not to worry, either of the above would have been nice lol

[Wardy]

High Power Black they tend to add more metallic fleck into the paint mix, IIRC.

[Pedd]

I took the plunge and opted for anthracite on my silver vRS FL. very happy with the result.

Look good. Where did you have them done?

[Pedd]

got them done at D&W wheel restorers in Newburgh just north of Aberdeen. Wheels dipped and powder coated and I'm very happy with the finish.

[Harry_vRS]

Off topic here, but Pedd I couldn't help notice the picture of your car in a sorry state they've done one hell of a job repairing that damage.

I love the look of your car, I'm really excited for getting them back this evening now
