Wheel finish ADV 10.1

[cavaret]

I am about to order some ADV 10.1 wheels for my Ibis white/ phantom black sideblade V10, and I was wondering what your opinions are on which wheel finish to go with. I would like to keep the wheels next year when my new R8 arrives which will probably be Rosso Corsa(Ferrari Red) with the matte carbon blade... Thanks for the input.

I'm a sucker for dark wheels on a brightly colored car. I would go with something close to black, but not fully black. Maybe a textured finish if that is your style. It's all so personal when it comes to wheels.

A semi gloss finish would not let dirt/dust show as fast as hi gloss. It all depends on how dirty you let your car get. This is how different a look you can have whilst dirty. These wheels are actually smoke chromed.In these pics they appear painted.To me!

I'm with desparado on the best color.

To me totally black wheels usually look like big blank black round space on a car where the wheels should be. When the lighting is perfect, such wheels can look super. But all too often you cannot see anything but black no matter what the actual design of a wheel. Black wheels are distinguishable from other designs only when the lighting is correct. Unfortunately, for much of the time the wheels are completely indistinguishable from the tire itself. This gives a car the appearance of being totally unfinished.

We have done titan grey on white cars and also on red. I say go for dark but not black...

I have a silver R8 with Carbon Blades. I first put on 360 forged CF which were dark. Now I have ADV.1 that are brushed. I like to keep my car clean and I like a clean look.

Thanks for the opinions... I think I might do titan gray. I wonder if that is the color of the Heffner wheels in his new vid?

Ok I am down to my final two selections what do you guys think regular brushed or matte gunmetal brushed? I am a little concerned that the regular brushed might be too flashy. By the way...the final selction on next years car is not going to be red but Suzuka Grey with a matte carbon blade, so I hope to keep the wheels when I trade in. Here are the pics let me know:

Matte gunmetal brushed
