What color is this A6 2.7t? Any clue as to who makes those wheels?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/AudiWorldPics/2000/a6whatclr.jpg"></center><p>This was discussed in the forum before and I think the final answer was Light Metallic Silver...still finding that hard to believe! Any other opinions out there? Whatever it is, it looks awesome in that lighting.

Too silver for nemo blue, too light for cashmere gray. It is definitely "?" Silver and don't forget
that lighting will change a light silver car significantly. I don't think it is "light silver metallic" but silver metallic. The name escapes me at the moment.

Lazy:
As an architect, we know that lighting can change the appearance of anything (even make an ugly woman look good - remember the red lights in wh***houses? Not that I've ever been in one, of cours).. But from the looks of it, that auto show is using overhead lights, your digital camera will expereicne color shift, and no one will know for sure what the "real" color is. Also, don't forget that manufacturers often use special colors for most dramatic impact. This is an auto show, after all, not a showroom.
I also have BBS wheel, and those are definitely BBS. My center caps are identical, though I'll bet that Audi got BBS to put the four rings on theirs, not the BBS logo which mine have.
Did you know that BBS has an American outlet in Atlanta? Search for BBS, and their WebSite should be easy to find. You could ask them (they speak English in Georgia, don't they?) if they make the Audi wheel caps......Andras

Me again:
Check the WebSite www.bbs.com, and you will get the German factory WebSite. Click onto the English language, and you will be able to see which wheel it is. I haven't found the USA WebSite yeat, but it's there somewhere.....Andras

Your right, the picture you link to is Nemo Blue. However, the link to lazy_masters pic
is an entirely different picture albeit similar wood floor. I have seen this color posted on the board before (on a different Audi) and it is a silver offered in Europe. I just cannot remember the name of the silver. It is basically a darker silver with some hints of blue/green.
The lights and the background display are playing tricks on the eyes and that is why so many people are thinking it's blue, gray, or green. I'll try to find the picture of the color posted by one of the folks in the other forums. They took the picture in Switzerland I believe.
Off to search and I'll post the link.
