Having the wheels repaired 19" Lugano since they where damaged by someone but torn as to the finish. I have a choice of four to consider and wanted an opinion as to what to go for - the car is black.

Black on black just doesn't work TBH.

Done to death though ?, personally I would want something different from OEM, either a ball polished silver finish or anthracite.

When I had the RS4 alloys refurbed on my TT one of the colour choices at Lepsons was 'sparkle silver'. Took me ages to choose but went for it in the end and was really pleased I did.

The colour was a standard silver but with a metal flake in the finish. In the sun they looked fantastic.

I'll see if I can find an old pic of them.

Whats the color of the interior?
Saw a roc at the dealer ship it was black and had the beige leather from inside and silver rims it look classy :yes: sporty yet classy in my opinion. Black on black is just too much :no:

worth looking at the titanium colour on the black edition A3s as looks good with black

I completely agree! IMO the Scirocco is much more sophisticated and stylish than a Subaru don't you think???

I think yellowplum, judging by all the comments this is all down to personal taste, I love the whole black on black thing which others seem to hate, but the Scooby gold wheel thing makes me wanna :puke: yet others love them

Go with your gut instinct..
