So I have an audi A5 black edition really great colour I think its called sprinter blue rotor wheels looks great but had it a while and was looking to buy new car but instead we ended up buying wife a mini. So I thought I would change the look of my car de chrome it around window and badges go gloss black and put new gloss black wheels on it maybe even wing mirrors as well.or even re furb the wheels and go black but now Im not to sure anyone have any thoughts on this.
Do I change the look or not

It is down to you really because if you ask what people think on an open forum , you will get loads of different answers
Personally black wheels were the rage 10 years ago but now are almost as common assilver but that's just my opinion.
Style your car to what suits you and what you are happy with and go with that.

Daz mate welcome on board. As Redline says you godda really go with yer own tastes. Personally I made only very subtle changes to my cars, for instance I needed the wheels refurbished so I had the colour changed at the same time. I prefer gunmetal grey to black cos it looks less aggressive BUT this too depends on the colour of your car.
I also debadged the S4 cos I love folks to assume that it is a 2L diesel hehehe.

Black rotors can also look nice if done properly

they look very good mine are silver is it possibly to get mine refurbished to look like that gloss black
These were titanium before they were refurbished gloss black.
A decent wheel refurb shop can do it quite easy.

Coventry ,West Midlands and there are loads of place around here who do it. If you don't want the diamond cut finish on the scallops then it's £35 - £45 a wheel.
I'm in goole if you know it and the problem with a town like this is nine times out of ten if you want something like this doing you have to travel somewhere else.And diamond cutting is not an option now physically can not take any more off so its powder coating.And I dont mind that but will not be able to have the silver edge.

Daz mate. I found a place that were sooooooo competent that they showed me several wheels against my car so I chose the gunmetal grey, and then they fitted me with a set of used 17" wheels and tyres for the few days that they took to refurbish mine. Then they called me so I returned and got my own wheels refitted and happy days.....
That's the same as Wheels Uk in Coventry.
They put on a set of genuine Audi 19' rims whilst mine were being refurbished. I was still able to drive around until they were ready, then just switched them over.

These places sound great to find someone who genuinely cares about there customers is hard these days I think I am going to find somewhere tomorrow.On a different subject one of my mates at work knows I'm spending a bit of money on the car and raved about diamond car matts ever had any I'm going to Google it now.
