    Titanium Y design wheels??? Is it possible to order?

    After an hour (or more) of pouring though Pics of all your cars my decision for ice grey is leaning towards a more stealth look.

    Say Daytona Grey with Carbon sb and titanium. The Y design wheels are killer though. Can I order those in Titanium? I didnt think so.

    Here is MNgolfers car... nice---

    I have the Daytona Gray coming soon. I don't remember seeing the titanium being offered on any rims except the 5 spoke. I ordered the Y spoke wheels but Polished..hope they look sharp as I have the polished 5 spoke wheels on my present r8.

    it isnt offered on anything else. I wish it was though. The Y spoke would look great if they were dark.

    Hmm. I've got a set coming off soon and a friend who does powder coating. I wonder what they'd look like in satin black or satin bronze?

    Motown-
    If you were interested in a set of these wheels done powder coated in the titanium color it can definitely be done. I've worked with Rotiform to have OE wheels done in the titanium color because the cost of the actual Ti wheels from Audi was nearly triple that of the factory silver wheels. The end cost was the cost of standard wheels and around $400.00 to professionally have them finished.

    Here is a set that was done was on a TTS:



    The process takes about a week, but can be done faster if needed. There are options to have it smooth, rough texture or any color for that matter in the end.

    Cheers,

    $400 a set. The price can vary based on what the wheel is finished with to begin with, some wheels require chemical stripping and more prep work, but that's an average price for this service. Can do to almost any wheel.

    I too went with the Y wheels. However, I would have liked to have known the weight difference between the 5 spoke and the Y wheels. The dealer did comment that the Y wheels were painted medium gray along their interior which matched the Daytona Gray really well.

    A bargain if you ask me!

    Anyone who wants a powder coated set of Y-spokes, buy mine and send them to Europrice to get em coated to the color of your choice.
