Default Yeah red is to common....was thinking about going with a powder coated

lemon yellow high gloss, bright orange was also a possiblity. But the problem is the TT rear decal has red trim, so if I do it I will need to paint that to for an overall match.

Default Although I will admit....

When I get my Big Reds, I am going to have em powdercoated yellow,
But i think it will be a little more subtle on a Lake Silver car...

Default hey did you know you can probably fit the centre cap from the 5 spoke on

your new wheels if you want to retain the audi ring design on your wheels.. its a pop off fitting that is removed from the rear...its ussually a standard hole diameter on most wheels.
