A3. 8L. Black on black. On black.

Leaning towards either a deep red or some sort of charcoal...

[eltonking]

And also centre caps? Keep them BMW or...?

opting for 215/40/18 up front and 235/40/18 out back
RIMTUCK.com - Wheel Fitment Database - great site for fitment.
actually maybe 225/40/18 on the rears..

I think they look good as is. And BMW centres for the OME+ win.

mad fitment! whoop!

[Cookie28]

A deep red would look good imo, stay away from black I think, its been done too much

awesome news!!! gutted you cant wait another 3 weeks for coils to be fitted.... just kidding, glad to see your super keen
wheels look niceeeee

when do you get back frenchy!? picking up adapters tomorrow and will do a trial fit and send you some sneaky pics... started refurbing the lips today. already a bazillion times better. still undecided on what colour to go with... at the moment silver is the colour of choice but i feel it is just sooooo boring. black i think will look semi-chat and a colour just wont look good... thinking possibly gold bolts to give it a bit more pop? but even then i'm undecided... opinions people?
