Looking good, Ian :happy2:

A good choice imo: Darkens the wheel without losing the shapes. Anything metal related tends to look purposeful.

Hope to see better pics though, mate.

They look the biz! Really look like the oem finish on the s3 black edition
cheers , the colour is similar but the finish is gloss and better than oem audi b/e , have you seen the finish on them ? not good

i havent seem them close up to be honest, yours look brilliant!

Candy, as far as I'm concerned:  :drool:  :drool:

I'm glad you went for this option.
I think in that colour they look simply class on a well designed wheel.

I hear what you say on other threads about every A3 having RS4's but very few will be in that colour, so that should leave you in the 'rare' category  :happy2:

Doesn't do anything for me, looks like a wheel i have seen a thousand times before.  :happy2:

Just my opinion, it means diddly squat.  :driver:

i value your opinion tc , for the money i think the wheel suits the S3 better than any other and the darker shade makes it look a little more moody  :happy2:

Should have gone darker. Your paintwork is striking but the wheels don't offer enough contrast.

More contrast, more impact  :happy2:

They look good - don't worry - any new mod sometimes takes a little while to appreciate!
The colour matches nicely with the front and rear valances. :happy2:

I'd be colour coding them to the grille surround personally.
