    BBS CH color recommendations

    I am going tuesday to have BBS CH with PS2's mounted on my car. I wanted some opinions first. Should I paint them a color or leave them the silver.
    Here is the silver which fits the RS6 bolt pattern.

    Stuart, great choice... ashame you didn't go for the OZ Antares, though.

    The Plasma colour gets my vote.

    Those are nice wheels.

    But why are people changing from the Stock RS6 wheels?

    They are quite pricey too....

    I got S4 replicas for winter tires, not too expensive.

    I like the two piece 19 in BBS LM, but at 1000 each OUCH....

    Silver, Silver, Silver, S....

    I like the wheels, but I think lots of other cars out there have them already. Too much visibility, but if you like them a lot, I say go for it, and don't forget nice pix to share.

    As for color....Definitely SILVER!!!

    Try titanium or antracit for the Rs6 Plus look

    I agree, something like the shadow chrome they have on the M5 rims, or the Hyper Silver color.

    I think the Plasma color is still a little brighter, I was thinking more of a darker gun-metal chrome. A little less shiny, more flat.

    People where I live do not spend the money on wheels for cars and some reason BBS is not very Popular around here.
    I think I am going for Anthracite.

    I picture before the CH's have been installed. The installation has been moved to Friday. Could not find the paint code. We went with Urban Gray? Sound familiar to anyone.
    Klint... I washed it by hand.
