Opinions on these wheels D3
 

Hi all! Just fitted one of these wheels I bought recently. I think the graphite works on silver car - gives some contrast. Or silver would look better? :Confused:

I'm biased but I reckon it's good to be different ;)

I have this theory that anything darker than the colour of your car always looks a bit "drug dealer" (sorry Ron and Andy lol)
I vote for Silver - they will look awesome on that colour +++

Graphite for me too +++

I'm always true to my roots Neil, want any Vera's? ;)

think he already has a "trusted" supplier Ron:tuttut:


ohh and silver would look better IMHO

I recognise those men and that A8, the penny has well and truly dropped ;)

HaHa! -you knew that blackmail photo would come in handy Brian!.

However, I too agree with Adrian and Brian re: lighter wheels than bodywork. Those as the man with the "pimpmobile" car - my wife's description, not mine - it's a bit rich for me to give advice on low profile/tasteful colour matching..:rolleyes:

Lol I'll keep you in mind if Andy runs out Ron :D

I will have you know that it wasn't me that was dealing in the above photo - all innocent you understand (M'lud ) ;)

Bang to rights...
 

Methinks you protest too much Andy….

Thanks for answers so far. It's 50/50 now :)

60/40 now ;)

Those graphite wheels look superb on the silver car. I'd certainly leave as is. :D

Graphite all the way, silver looks so standard and common, but its a personal choice so no offence to any guys owning silver wheels.
Graphite breaks the standards a bit and looks more +++

Sorry, but the graphite (or black for that matter) looks like you drove through Halfrauds with superglue on, chav-not-tastic

IMO

I was expecting similar number on both sides. :)
The wheels in this color is OEM Audi - so not from halfords. :D

Chav is the black and orange D3 from a thread in daily banter section
Here there is nothing wrong with the wheels, especially nothing Chav.
If you want A8 look like a classy limo you go for silver, if you want to step away a little from that classines, go a little sporty, then you go for any other colour than silver.

I think that the actual problem here for people to accept or like these wheels is the actual colour of the car and possibly design of the wheels in this combination

Jza8, please don't take it the wrong way, I'm not criticising the colour of your car!!!!!!

Definitely gunmetal. I'm a bag fan of dark wheels.

I had them on my Silver TT and I think it looked excellent.

M-A8 - I'm thinking along Your lines. I'm personally not a fan of dark wheels on dark cars. On the other hand I agree it's the image of A8 that dictates things as well. Some wouldn't oppose this color on - let's say A4. I'm torn as well hence this thread. :cool:

P.S looks better in life as well - not as dark as in the picture.

Never :tuttut:

Back on topic - I think it is because you don't see this combo much on the A8 that people are generally against it;)

For me, it works +++

Your car, your rules :rolleyes:

Not my preference, but definitely not 'wrong'..

:ROFL: I know Andy it's all that Neil’s fault, AGAIN! He’s a bad influence that one. I’ve seen him dealing (ok swapping) Auto Union Streamliner USB sticks for Hubcaps.

Anyway i think they look good. I have black wheels on my 8, but then i am a rug dealer :snigger:

Dezzy man! :ROFL:

I deny everything - where's the evidence? Lol :D

After some consideration, decided on silver after all, got the new rubber on today! +++
Left the centres grey at the moment? What do you think?
