I have some 18" 5 spoke A6 alloys with winter tyres on which I'm going to get refurbished before I put them in a week or so.
Very nice! They really suit that colour. I think the face of those are a bit darker/greyer than mine. I considered something similar but, having a black car, I didn't think they'd look right. Black is a surprisingly difficult colour in that respect I find.
