What have you done to your Audi A4 B7 today?

[Jamsmoo]

They are OEM R8 alloys, but it's a Porsche colour from memory.

It can be a challenge finding just the right colour for multispoke alloys.

Nice Rob

Where did you source it from?

Love mine but it's kept it from my very first B7 which isn't chrome. Did you buy new or used?

Thanks

Just stuck the part number into eBay…

£19 with delivery, came from a breakers in Northern Ireland.
Used but in mint condition, very happy with it. Love these simple little mods. Need to start on some of the bigger mods I’ve got waiting in the garage when I get some spare time now

Love the different looks a different wheel can add to a car ,for me though Audi missed a trick not making the s8 d3 20” in a 19” as well as the 18” they put on b7s
Still the most suited wheel for a b7

Agreed James, i've had the 19" versions albeit aftermarket ones.
The s8 20" look the best but they need to be the 8.5j version on the b7.

I have to say, they are probably the most suited to the B7 platfrom.

Maybe 20s would be manageable on a subtle drop.. eibach pro 30-35 eg

[Charlie Farley]

they are very doable in the 8.5j form, one just needs to make a careful tyre size choice.

I saw it too many years ago just after I jumped into B7 ownership, its been on the web for some time and probably the reason a lot of guys went with a B7.

Are they for sale somewhere Rob

[Charlie Farley]

yep, but having looked at them closer they maybe still too dark on my black bus.

 

[Charlie Farley]

Decided today to stick with the OZ alloys and they are rather nice anyway, but just get them redone in a lighter shade.
happy days.

I've not got one .....

 

[Charlie Farley]

Had a chat with the wheel refurb guys today and this is my chosen replacement colour.
Given its a black Avant and not wishing to a go bog-standard silver, this is a good compromise, still bright enough but with some depth of colour.

V nice ,what’s that called

It is supposed to be Hyper silver, but I think it is a bit darker but they say it's a colour they have and can replicate.
I've had hyper silver inovits which were lighter but maybe it's the light.

 

[Charlie Farley]

I think it has a small amount of black in the mix which gives it that slightly darker hue, a bit like black chrome but silver if that makes sense.

Yes ,I think u can specify darker or light as with black chrome shadow chrome etc

Looks great Rob! Good choice on colour, will suit your bus beautifully

I thought Hyper Silver was basically the same as Silver Chrome? That's the finish I've had mine refurbished in (by Lepsons). Looks similar to OEM silver but has much more depth to it, but it's definitely lighter than the pic you posted. I would say in the pic you posted it looks more akin to Shadow Chrome? That's sort of half way between Silver Chrome (Hyper Silver) and Black Chrome.

 

[Charlie Farley]

these inovits were hyper silver , but are lighter.

 

[NM07]

These are mine done in Silver Chrome (which I was under the impression is the same as Hyper Silver) if that helps:

 

[Charlie Farley]

Nice, yes with a slightly darker hue and they will be spot on for my old bus.

In what way James, it is always dangerous going to car shows etc as they always make one feel a bit substandard.

Oh no Sounds like it's time for a new mod / new parts to perk yourself back up about it

 

[Charlie Farley]

just found these pics of my 19" alloys from 2017 projects.

they were black chrome, but less black, I think the larger spoke faces didn't workout as well as they could have, still looked nice though.

I think it’ll pass ,show cars are a different breed and not designed to be practical daily’s ,well I hope not anyway
