Anthracite OEM S-Line Wheels? Pics of darker wheels on the Q5?
Hello Everyone -
Quick story, when I sold my last S-Line Q5 I kept the OEM wheels (in hopes to have a summer and winter set when I purchased my 2011). I'm considering darkening the summer set, however, my feelings:
-I don't want to go too dark (My preference is a darker 'hyper silver' (darker than OEM) or lighter 'anthracite' type finish, not a 'black' wheel).
-I'm concerned about going too dark.
Does anyone have pictures of anthracite or darkened wheels on the Q5? Preferably on a lighter paint color Q5?
Thanks!

Are the Euro Spec'd 20" S-Line Titanium wheels like you have Robert the same as the 20" S-Line (US Spec'd) S-Line Plus Pkg wheels?
I built them online looking at the different looks against my white, just to see.
I want to purchase a set of the 20's exactly like yours for summer and run the 19s in the winter. When I build the Q5 on the German site and select this wheel it looks like this ...
And when I build it on the US site and select the S-Line plus pkg (with titanium wheels) it looks like this.
I want to make sure I can order the correct ones. Do you have any idea what part number those are on your ride Robert? Hopefully I'll be able to get those wheels stateside.

ThunderDent... you may want to consider Hartmann wheels (Link) Same look as the OEMs and I believe many people on the forums have nothing but good things to say about the brand and the vendor in general

Thanks Frost. Those are a bit cheaper too. And you can get with the Audi center cap which is nice.
I'm not really up on all the spacers, lowering, springs, etc. though. It says the Q5 requires a spacer. Where is that located on the car and what part is it I need to buy?
