    Rim refurb

    So my rims need some TLC.. They are stock Avus 3, but I am unsure to stick with the standard colour or go anthracite.. Body colour is silver with the anthracite door fins as standard, just thought this may look good as they would match...

    Anyone have any pics of anthracite Avus rims on a silver S4?

    Cheers

    Avus are some of my favourite wheels, and I do like dark wheels (as per my RS6's) but I think dark Avus wheels lose a lot of the effect.

    No offence to 60fast who's car does look good, but would be better with silver Avus's IMHO.

    I've never really seen many anthracite Avus wheels.

    Remind me what colour your car is?
