Steve Q Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hey Andris, good wheel upgrade :) buy you've got you're work cut out. What colour is your a4? Black wheels will go with nearly any colour except black or blue in my opinion. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andris Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thanx man, my car is silver colour all round !!! Also later thinking of wrapping all the silly grey plastics around the car in Black if I go with black rims ?!?!?! In a photo them grey parts at the bottom of the car look black but they really grey!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbro Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Andris, have you considered two tone silver and gun metal grey? Cavities being grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andris Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 I like the sound of it!!! Just bit worried I’ll mess it up that way??? What is the cavity ??? Sounds daft but I’m not too shore if that is the part I think of ??? thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adbro Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yes the cavities are shown in (1) so you have 5. The arms being (2) I think they are painted in two stages. First being silver. After drying mask the areas off and paint grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Q Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Think black will.look.good :) the lower grey trim on the sills and bumper can be painted the same colour as the car to smarten it up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
