Looks like a nearly unanimous blue, but I'm going the other direction.

I did my stockers (for winter tires) in Bronze Starlight, and it's the right choice for a white car!
Here's the best pic I had to show off the real colors.

the volk bronze is more of an anodized matte finish/texture, while the magblue is a smooth gloss.

if you PC it bronze, i assume it will be a glossy bronze?

you should do a color that isn't a factory option...

What color are the CE28's right now?

I think I'm partial to blue as well. Bronze powdercoating never seems to come out nice.

I read that Blue Ice Explosion was almost identical but Prismatic Powdersdoesn't carry it. Blue Diamond is also pretty close.

My powder coater told me that the Volk bronze is an anodized/paint combo andis almost impossible to duplicate. I don't want gloss bronze. I've asked him ifhe can do a flat top coat.

They are a light gray center with polished lip. I'm not a fan of polishedlips less then 2".

you cannot duplicate anodized bronze. when i had the lips of my te37's fixed it was fixed very good but when you look at it closely it lost the anodized look and it was a bit of a shiny bronze. but that was the lip which is really shiny but if it was the spokes i would've been f***ed up since that was a bit impossible to replicate.
