I wouldn't be soooo bad if I didn't still have the original 16's in the shed Rolling Eyes

lol. Prefer the RS6's, and will probably look ok on your car in gun metal; it's all down to personal preference. You doing the refurb any time soon, or is that going to wait for the next weekender at Phils? Laughing

I'm going to prep them over the next couple of months in between other commitments, but I don't suppose I'll get any paint on them before the weather improves in the spring, unless I end up taking them somewhere to do it.

right... 5 months later.... what are you doing with the RS6s? Very Happy

and what colour should I do mine?
Crystal blue car and I fancy a change from the silver so may attempt some kind of gunmetal too

Looks like this just now with 16" winters on

and looks a bit like this in summer shoes

(I won't hijack your thread James, I promise)

Mine are going anthracite! I'm not doing it myself this time, either at the £20wheel deal through AOC or possibly somewhere else in conjunction with Simon K. it's just waiting on me getting round to getting the wheels up to him Wink

I think you should do your the same colour Noel Very Happy

hmmmm... what to do...

and would matching anthracite mirrors or avus silver mirrors (to match the window trims and roof bars) be better? aghhh. £20 per wheel sounds brilliant.. i'd jump at if I wasn't so far Sad

hmm. Silver's still good

Thats an RS6 though, you could put Andy's Nothelle's on it and it would still look good!

If you did them Anthracite and then thought "Nah" you could run them for the summer and do them again over the winter. The hard work is the prep, changing the top coat colour is (fairly) straightforward.

OI!

you need "educating" Laughing

Posted: Sat Mar 19, 2011 8:51 pm

To be fair I actually quite like them!

But the joke wouldn't have worked if I'd have said that Wink

just barely looks good though, it has to work really really hard to sell itself wi them on!!

what are these child scaring monstrocities of which you speak?

Posted: Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:32 am

I can't help thinking that RS6 looks crystal blue, like my A4. therefore.. maybe avus wheels and mirror caps would look good too.
maybe I should just buy an RS6 and work out how to explain it to my missus afterwards. although RS6 instead of house is never going to go down too well is it?

I've not got time to find a pic of them on Andys car but that will give you an idea!
