  • Polish my wheels???

    OK, I'm having trouble deciding....

    Polish or Paint?

    I have a silver B6 S4 with RS6 wheels.

    Was contemplating trading / selling the OEM RS6 wheels for something else that tuck a bit better, but I think I am probably going to keep these wheels for now and save some money for other things.

    They have a tiny bit of rash and some scratches / scuffs to repair.

    Rather than go with the same silver paint (which I still think looks OK), I was thinking I might go for the polished look.

    A bit "blingy" perhaps, but I think polished / chrome looks nice with a silver car, and would match the mirrors, grille, etc. If I get them polished, what kind of clear coat might work? I'm OK with raw polished too (these are only for summer use), but having all of my three vehicles with polished wheels makes for a hell of a lot of upkeep.....

    Thoughts? Suggestions?

    The only idea I'm not considering is painting / powdercoating them black or some other darker color.

    I hate black wheels on anything other than a black car.

      IMO polished would not look great on these wheels, too much bling considering how fat the spokes are? I assume these are the 19" 5-spokes?

      I think that the original silver looks best but you could also go darker grey:

        It would tahe a long time to polish these wheels. Just to remove the paint would be a pain in the ***. I say paint or powder coat'em.
