I need to see the car as sometimes photos do not do things justice. Same as when I saw Nardo Grey in person it was so much better than the photos that were sent to me.

I have always been a great fan of black in place of chrome, especially on wheels, but do like something to break the black of the wheels and tyres with a polished rim.

Hmm, not sure personally. Think they would have been better in an anthracite colour as I agree with the above, black wheels are nice if they are contrasted with a diamond cut like the pic above. All black wheels merge in with the tyres and make it look like aftermarket, although at least you have the red callipers to break it up a bit.

As you say, probably best seeing them in the flesh so to speak rather than in pictures.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the price of the refurb? £75 a wheel? I take it you lost the audi sport logo?
 
Yes logo gone. £465 to paint wheels and pick up and deliver wheels back to dealer
 
The close up picture of the wheel looks good. I think the other side on picture probably doesn't do them justice, wrong angle and light.

Post up more pictures when you pickup the car with more flattering angles and I'm sure it will look superb

I agree close up looks great but dealer camera not good and angle and light. Same thing when he sent me pics of car but when I went to look much better and my camera better quality.

So more pics on Friday.
 
Looks good...better than any of the standard finishes specially when you select BO package. Was waiting for someone to do this so I could see what mine will look like when I do the same once car arrives. The more expensive option is to change the wheels but the blades have kind of grown on me
 
Picked my car up today - the wheels look fantastic on the car!

If you have standard wheels get them painted.

Car being detailed now so will post pics up Sunday when I pick up.

Your dealer painted them black before delivery? How long did that take?

No they put car on jacks, put wheels in covers, Lepsum picked up Monday and returned 3 days later to dealer who put them back on car.
