They don't make them anymore pretty rare apparently. I think there is one set for sale on the audi forums. they fit perfectly, just need hubcentric rings

Well I'll be the first to one say, I don't like it. Yes I like attempt. But I just think that any white on the wheels makes the car look weak.

Wow, inner barrels are white too. I've never seen that before. I do like it. I would like the wheel center white too, but I'm a racist

I bought a great meguiers wheel brush that you can clean the inner barrels in minutes with each wash. I wash the brake calipers at each wash to so I'm a bit strange. It always looks new though!

For a minute reading your topic line I thought I was gonna see an AMG badge on a 430..thank god.

it looks good. i am always down for a two tone theme. white and black, red and black, and even silver and black usually good on most cars.

I'm not feeling it either, it makes me think of a riced out Integra (the white lip). For the record I am generally against black rims on any car so I am clearly biased here. I'm comfortable being in the minority.

Edit: I'm looking again and I think the shiny lugnuts and bolts around the wheel make it too "busy". You have black, white and silver all prominent and I feel like it turns into a mess. Plus, the white doesn't appear to match that of the car (although it is a nighttime picture).
