Default Need help deciding on wheels!

Hi. I purchased a 2013 Audi A7 recently and just had it wrapped satin white. I haven't picked up my car yet since the wrap was completed because they're tinting it right now. So I don't have any pictures of it.

Currently the car still has stock silver wheels but it doesn't go with the satin white at all. I was considering powder coating them something but I'd rather put that money towards new wheels.

Could you guys offer some suggestions for wheels that would compliment a white or satin white A7? Thanks in advance.

I do like the bronze wheels look on white but am having trouble finding nice bronze wheels.

just make sure you provide us pictures when you pick up the car. I can't wait to see the satin white wrap.


I have a Ibis white S5 coming and was wondering the same thing about wheel color.

I definitely will. I like the classic black wheels on white but it just feels overdone.

I agree with you on that. I've got the stock 20's coming on my new S7. I'm interested in finding a set of bi-color RS7 wheels but have been struggling to find some. I considered doing a powedercoat on these 20" wheels but as you said, it just seems overdone.

Agree completely. Think something in a gunmetal grey would look best. Along the lines of the BBS platinum silver finish they use on their CI-R wheels, has a nice satin sheen, matt won't look good IMO. The M4 pic is too dark, but it is close to a satin white. The shot of the RS7 is closer to the wheel colour:

I was looking at the Vossen CVT in graphite. They come in silver but the graphite looks really nice to me. Also planning on doing yellow calipers. Any opinions on this wheel on white a7?

I'm sure those wheels would look great on your A7. They look great on the S4

I think those would look fantastic. The calipers in yellow would be a nice highlight. You might be able to find supercharger badges with a yellow rhombus. That would look cool.
