Rim Color choices with Daytona Grey Pearl?
 
Hey everyone! I know this is all opinionated, yet I would like some ideas on rim color and choices that would go good with a Daytona Grey Pearl car. I just ordered my 17' A4 as such and have been looking on google for rims that color coordinate and its actually pretty rough. I see some nice ones that are grey also but I feel like if I don't pick the right type to go with Daytona it will be washed out especially being grey rims on a grey car. Any suggestions on color coordination on rims with that kind of body?


Best Regards,
Davio

Grey rims on a grey car is difficult to get right. I had a grey car and it had grey (gunmetal) rims and it looked weird. I went back to silver and it looked much better. Black is also an option but that is also a bit difficult to get right. The rims have to be the right one too (design I mean).

I agree completely! that's why I'm having this issue haha thanks Vipin for the input.
I definitely will be leaning towards a grey if possible or matte black then


Something like this image I found below looks really sharp to me but I'm not even sure it this is a Daytona Grey car or what the wheels/rims are if that. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.aud...12b6d10282.jpg

Yup. Thing is that the shape of the car and the design of the rims make an impact on how it looks too. Idk whether that will look good on the B9. Best bet is to take a nice side shot of your car and then search for the rims you want online and photoshop it onto your car. That is what I'm doing. Still haven't found any that I like yet.

Nice advice thanks as always Vipin! I think I'm definitely going to start doing that

I'll show you an example of what I did. I have the rims of my old A6 lying at home. Photoshopped that onto my B9. Looks ugly AF. So ignore the ugliness. Just to give you an idea. The rims looked hot on the A6 but makes the A4 look ugly.

He he. I kinda didn't like how it looks. Now that you said that, idk. Anyways let me see. If I don't find any good rims, I might test mount one to see how it looks.
