I like the light grey... if the car were meant to have shiny chrome all over it Audi would have made it that way

Nice car by the way... should look good with those wheels. Don't forget to consider the weight of the wheels... adding unsprung weight can really make a car feel sluggish.

I also like the light grey ones better. I think that they complement the dark headlights on th audi.

Thanks! I'm not worried too much about the weight The car has factory 18s on it now... made by Ronal wheel and they are somewhere in the 30-33lb range without the tire!!!!

These GT7s are made by SSR, they are forged 18x8 and weigh 19lbs each. Thats 11-14lbs lighter per corner!!!!

Light grey looks sharp. I think an even darker grey would look great, too . . .

I think the grey look a lot better, and suit the car.

grey w/ polished lip

lol, the wheels + tires on the jeep weigh close to 100 lb/each. It handles like a beast, and makes for entertaining tire changing.

I would vote for black or gun metal if you can find it. But the top one is my vote out of the two.

normally I would say no on the grey rims.. but since it has that silver lip around the outside... I think it does look good. Tough decision though.

light grey with polished lip.....OR gun metal with polished lip.

silver and possible chrome would look horrible.
