^ Is that gun metal or bronze? The lighting makes it looks both (or maybe it's just me).

Looks really nice. I like how it's a darker bronze. Not a fan of the gold-ish coor.

ive always liked the gold or that kinda matte gold thats on some of the aftermarket wheels and ive always wondered how it'd look on a darker car like mine since its gray..ive only seen them on lighter cars, mainly white...

i know but i ussually get all sad kuzz i see all theese cars in there w/ all sorts of mods n such...and im like...."I WANT THAT!!"...but im too broke...

or simple stuff like painted stockers, or the dyi mesh grill, and then im like..."man...i wish i had a chance to do that"....im always tied up doing sumn dumb or its overly important or im just too tired after working on cars all day...lol

what i wanna do and i dunno if people go thru all this trouble is paint the front AND back of the wheel...make it look like it came stock like that...i know theres a wheel repair/repaint guy that comes to my work w/ his big o' trailer and he fixes rims and he's pretty damn good but he only paints the front....(granted he's also painting the wheels the OE colors...), but i know he's painted one guy i work with's wheels and they look like ***...he just did the front..

Do not like bronze on grey. The stock ra in the first pic is so nice.
