Del, I've done like over 100 deep breaths so far and now I'm calm
Cheers Scott
All wheels are same colour.
Many if not all of you will think, what a princess, drama queen, but you know what?? I know it sounds like that, but you wont believe how an@l I am about blending dark wheels on a 8 until something like that happens.
I was telling Jim about how easy is to make dark wheels look chavy on A8, and I think previously I achieved optimal look with the original colour, I think colour of the car blend in nicely with the wheels, not to much contrast.
Now, the wheels are very dark, going almost into black.
I didn't ask huge thing, just said to finish them in same gunmetal, not much brighter or much darker than it was, a very reasonable request I think.
And it wasn't an unusual colour either, just gunmetal on the end of the day.
I'm over it now, but...it bothers me.
In the shadow they look OK, in the day light not so much. I'm against tyre shine and now I will have to start using it so the tyres dont look so ''bright'' (contrast) where previously without tyre shine everything look perfect.
Quality is very very very good, finish is almost fantastic, is just not even close to original which what I was after.
Pictures don't tell the truth story!!!!
This one may
Original color, way much brighter
New, way much darker, close to black, but quality is really really good
