Hello everyone!

I am planning to buy new rims which are probably OZ Superturismo LM/GT for my silver A3 8V Sportback 2018 (I have attached a photo to get a clear idea of what my car’s color is).

What rim color color suits best for silver cars? I am considering graphite (gunmetal) or black ones.

Thanks a lot for suggestions!

I don’t think that you can beat silver rims on a car.
I just don’t see the attraction of dark/ black alloys as they just look perpetually dirty.
My new daily has Anthracite Black Edition 10 spokes and whilst they look lovely in my mind they’d look so much better a nice silver.

This is about the best that I currently have…..
Having had a print-out from Audi with all the fitted equipment codes I now see that the cast alloy wheels are described as “Matte Titanium look”.

Agreed, Dark Grey on Silver is spot on.

Currently I have Gloss Black wheels on a white car..they look the nuts when its dry and sunny, as soon as it rains, literally a shower and you pick up some road gunk and spray, they look terrible.
