    Silver vs. Gunmetal / VMR vs. Neuspeed/ Help me decide!

    Looking for some feedback from folks that own these wheels before I pull the trigger. I was waiting for the Black Friday deals- and now that they are here I realized that I am undecided on the color, brand, offset, and size which is not good.

    However, I have narrowed my choices to 3 wheels- but excluding the BBS as I don't want to spend that much.

    I live in Colorado, I have the OEM sport sline suspension (not planning on changing it because of the snow), I want to use wheels that provide the OEM spec center bore, I want them to fit the Audi center caps, don't want to use spacers, etc.

    My car is a 2013 Glacier White A4 S-Line and I am currently running the peelers but want to change the look a bit- and always liked the 7 spoke mesh style on the BBS CH-R wheels.

    I like the VMR 810s- but the Neuspeed RSe14 are also nice with a width of 9 which I believe will be a great fit for the 255 tires. In terms of the offset, I don't want the wheels to poke beyond the fender. Thus I don't want anything that will increase the outer position by more than 9mm over the peelers. A bit of an increase will probably look better than the peelers but I don't want to overdue it, specially because I am not thinking about lowering the car.

    In terms of the color- don't want black wheels...but I believe something a bit darker than the silver on the peelers will look good on the glacier white car. I am also confused on this, don't want to be too dark since I mostly like the oem look.

    Anyway, if you have them on the sizes that I describe below please let me know if you're happy w your purchase and with the fit and look.

    Thanks for any feedback> J

    color - i'd go gunmetal for sure. i personally like gunmetal the best for wheel colors, and it will go nicely with the white, keep somewhat of an OEM+ look but will look better than the standard silver.

    as for the wheels, they are pretty close i'd go with whatever you like better or get a better deal on, size wise the 8.5" et35 and the 9" et40 are gonna be pretty close in fitment, i don't think either will rub or poke so you'll be fine there.

    Thanks for the reply- it seems that the gunmetal on the Neuspeed wheels is darker than the VMR gunmetal-- and I think I like the lighter gunmetal better. The Neuspeed wheels are a bit more expensive but others on the forums have ranked them better in terms of quality. I like both styles- but haven't found any pics of the rse14 wheels on a white A4/S4. I don't think many folks are running them.

    Thanks- I am currently inclined for those. Wish they will come w a 9 width- but it seems to be the best color at least on the pictures. I am trying to find a local distributor hoping to see them in person before I place the order.
