looking for pics: graphite gray MR w/ bronze 18" wheels

i'm in the market for a new evo MR. black would be my first choice and putting 18" bronze ce28n wheels on, but black is not available for 2006 MRs.

white or graphite gray (with black or gun metal 18" wheels) are both my 2nd choice colors. however, i've heard graphite gray with bronze 18" wheels looks nice too...just can't picture that.

does anyone have a GG MR with bronze wheels they can post to see? thx

GG in bronze is not attractive at all.

Hopefully there are no pics of GG with bronze, because they it doesn't look good.

Btw, if you're getting an MR, it already has forged, lightweight, exclusive BBS rims, so think about that. They are worth $750/wheel, and there are lots better ways to spend your money than immediately getting some 18s. Just FYI...

^^^ yes, i plan to track with the stock 17" wheels and r-compound tires. the 18" would really be for daily driving.

Please don't disgrace a GG MR with bronze wheels. Bronze wheels are nice, just not on the GG. Keep the stockers like Warrtalon suggested. If you have to upgrade, go with black or gun metal.

You can photoshop some bronze wheels onto my IX if you want. I personally think it would be hideous...

thanks...i'll give it a try.

personally i don't like bronze with gray and agree it would be terrible. someone's trying to convince me otherwise and i just can't be convince.

i'll do gg with black + polished lip (ie, le28n)...similar to the black + polish lip le37t currently on my silver grey m3. it think that looks "mean"

I was thinking the same thing. When i get aftermarket wheels they'll be 18x8.5-9" in either anthracite or black with a polished lip.

I was doing some quick searching yesterday and came across these Enkei's. They're pretty nice and relatively inexpensive.
