What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

Had to bite the bullet and fill up the old bus this evening as it was on about 5miles range left...
filled up with super jungle juice and then swiftly lightened my wallet by a large amount...
Anyway, I don't plan on making any more fuel stops for now for at least a month or more if possible, well that is the plan.
Whether the old bus actually does 380 miles on a full tank is open to debate.

One s4 mirror assembly completely replaced,the other just the cover (thanks Rob lol )

I've booked my Oz alloys in for a colour change next week, just need a set to fit whilst there being done.

Shame ,they look ace and are a great colour but since I’ve put chrome rings and mirrors on I see the contrast u talk about
Those ozs in a hyper chrome etc would really pop

It is all about the contrast sometimes James.
I really like the colour they are and they look great on the old bus but I feel they need to be lighter, dark coloured rims look smaller than they really are and lose some of their shape/styling.

So as much as it's a great look it's not quite the right look so a change is needed.
It needs to be some sort of silver-based colour, I've seen some awesome BMW alloys somewhere in a colour that would be soo much better on my black bus, but can't find the pic now to give the wheel guys....

I've had hyper silver before , not tried shadow chrome though.
I had some black chrome on the old bus a while back but the spokes were to big to make the effect really work.

maybe this.

It satin finish , sort of middle way between black chrome and silver.

Gloss shadow chrome is lovely ,seen it being done on some 22 Range Rover rims.

Great wheels if u want the attention on the callipers ,as u say ,(paraphrasing)rims aren’t not full enough

They are OEM R8 alloys, but it's a Porsche colour from memory.

It can be a challenge finding just the right colour for multispoke alloys.
 
Nice Rob

Where did you source it from?

Love mine but it's kept it from my very first B7 which isn't chrome. Did you buy new or used?

Thanks
Just stuck the part number into eBay…

£19 with delivery, came from a breakers in Northern Ireland.
Used but in mint condition, very happy with it. Love these simple little mods. Need to start on some of the bigger mods I’ve got waiting in the garage when I get some spare time now

Love the different looks a different wheel can add to a car ,for me though Audi missed a trick not making the s8 d3 20” in a 19” as well as the 18” they put on b7s
Still the most suited wheel for a b7

Agreed James, i've had the 19" versions albeit aftermarket ones.
The s8 20" look the best but they need to be the 8.5j version on the b7.

they are very doable in the 8.5j form, one just needs to make a careful tyre size choice.
 
I saw that pic before I owned a b7 a4 avant ,,,now I’m here

I saw it too many years ago just after I jumped into B7 ownership, its been on the web for some time and probably the reason a lot of guys went with a B7.

Decided today to stick with the OZ alloys and they are rather nice anyway, but just get them redone in a lighter shade.
happy days. :yes:
