Help choosing a wheel color for phantom black b8.5

[dudley]

I honestly consider black to be the hardest color to choose a certain color wheel for... I have gone back and forth now for a month. I have some rash on one wheel, and I chose to just get it fixed and have them re-finished. Gloss black, matte black, gunmetal, bronze, copper... too many choices. This is the car as it currently sits.

Ice Silver is the hardest!! lol. I personally think keeping all the brushed silver trims and silver wheels looks the best on Black. If going for the murdered out look, if committed, it looks very aggressive.

NEver thought I would like it but that one guy selling his phantom black with the candy red wheels actually doesnt look half bad

If my S4 was black, I would go with a copper / sunken treasure color.

The all black look isn't for me. Sliver look, IMHO, too OEM.

Gunmetal would be my next choice, but I would def do copper / sunken treasure (I'm not a fan of black cars, but being able to pull off these colors has me thinking about it for the B9)

I struggle with wheel color as well. That's why I have plast dipped for close to a year trying to figure out what I like.

Anthracite!

Not sure if my thread inspired you, but I'm in the same situation :)

Gunmetal. Then anthracite, bronze, or black in that order.

It's easy. If you don't like dark colored wheels go for hypersilver. Otherwise go black. Gunmetal you can't decide!

[AudiSTL]

for a black car any color would look good because black goes with anything bronze and black are a match tho

I like the middle bronze ones. Bronze color doesn't work on many colors, blues and black.

I had the same dilemma. IMO, if you have silver trim, silver wheels look best. Maybe anthracite or gunmetal. But not black. Silver wheels set off the silver. If ya got black optics, many more options. The bronze looks dope with all black. Here are a couple picks from mine. One with 20' silver STR's. Old set up. Current set up gunmetal Volk Reys CE28N's [yes they are real, yes they are 1 of ten sets made with a 5x112 bolt pattern ;) ]. Gonna get another set of 20's. Prob some silver Rotiform IND's.

That looks great. I'm black optics( purchased grille and wrapped all the chrome trim) so I'm leaning towards bronze. Just can't decide if dark bronze now, or the brighter copper look. I'll be choosing from prismaticpowders.com

My S5 is deep sea blue pearl. But in certain lighting it looks black, obviously at night as well. I went with mercury silver colored Vorsteiner's, basically bright gloss silver. Gives it a OEM+ look that others mentioned, and goes well with the aluminum trim.

I'm not the biggest fan on the aluminum trim. I was thinking of maybe switching it up. And putting carbon mirror caps on, getting the window trim wrapped in black and getting my wheels painted in a titanium color. If you have the aluminum window trim, or don't want to get it wrapped silver wheels will go very well. Yu could always go a touch darker with maybe titanium if you want less of a OEM+ look.

I have black optics with red interior. Bronze is nice but I don't think fits the color scheme. Gunmetal or anthicite is where im headed

[jdcarnes]

I went with Gunmetal finish.

S5 owner here, but I'll be going gunmetal or bronze.

^^This! Once I put some miles on my VFF-106's I am going to have them refinished in this color!

I went with the gunmetal look on my B8, but I think for the B8.5 I'm going with the silver RS4 style grill and silver rims to bring out the trim.
