    Powder coated A6 rims?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I’ve tried searching. I have a 2016 A6 and I wanted to know have anyone powder coated the factory ones I have in a gloss black or any black at that matter. Trying to see for reference purposes. And while I’m at it, would it look better all gloss black or gloss black and keep the face silver?

    On a silver car I would do a Gunmetal or Anthracite. Personal preference though. I wouldn’t leave the face silver on those rims if you do have them powder coated.

    Never considered gun metal. I was thinking of wrapping the front grill, roof and side mirrors in a gloss black to compliment the rims.

    I think that will look good, and even better with gunmetal rims. On my silver S4 I had everything blacked out with gunmetal wheels and it looked awesome in my opinion. I think I still have pics of it somewhere on here.

    That looks great. Hard to tell on my phone - Nardo Gray? Or a deeper silver? Huge difference between that and regular silver with black rims.

    Damn you guys cars already have black trim. I got so much chrome to wrap and local places want an arm and a leg to do so.

    Powder coated A6 rims?

    Ok so I came across this company that does halo efx performance coatings. Have anybody tried this material yet? I’m looking for a cheaper alternative to powder coating.

    http://www.addiption.com/photo-gallery/ That’s the company. Seems pretty durable

    Here’s a set that’s been painted black, if you’re interested in seeing what your same wheels would look like. I’ve been considering buying a set (I’ve always liked the wheel design), but I want a lower offset.

    I came across those. They’re nice I’m caught up in between powder coating and halo efx performance coatings

    I'm not sure if this is a Black Optics option or what, but on my car I always liked how the face was machined silver and rest of the rim was gloss black:

    Gone, but not forgotten:

    2007 A4 S line 2.0T 6MT, Phantom Black Pearl

    Perhaps. I have those but mine are a dark grey where yours is black. I’d prefer the black

    I’m starting to have a change of heart I think the wheels in their original state looks good with the color of my car. I may just redo my calipers black with the Sline logo and call it a day
