Default Wheel Reccomendations

I am looking for summer wheels for my Nogaro S4 so I can turn the stocks into winter wheels. What is everyone's opinion on what wheels would look best on my car. Due to monetary issues, HRE wheels will have to be omitted from this poll even though the 841R is probably one of the nicest looking wheels ever. I have an affinity for wheels with black centers with a polished lip but I am open to opinions. I tried searching the forum but not a lot of pics came up so I'm just interested in what other people think. I kinda am leaning towards Angstrom wheels, but they are close to HRE prices too.

Default As others have mentioned, Here are Fliks on car

They have been great thus far...........

Default I see the difference but they both look black to me!

kind of like the difference between Charcoal and Black. Probably from a distance they look very close but upon closer sctutiny they ARE somehat different! Both darker than gunmetal!

Default Anthacite is more of a metalic sheen to it.. vs deep black.. The black would look weird on a..

non-black car.. also even on a black car it would look weird (beacuse who color-matchs on audis reminds me of a tuner around my area with a yellow 911 C2 with color-matched wheels. Looked terrible. Of course the guy normally worked on Hondas, so what do you expect

Yea, I Had the Fliks on my old A4, they are a pain to keep clean. I pretty much like anything that looks like an HRE.
