i think your bronze color in your chop is a little brighter than a bronze wheel actually is, the chop looks more gold. But i think bronze wheels on a black car look good. It was really big a couple years ago but people have gravitated more towards the all black look as of late.

Do bronze. Black would be... Well... Too much black, IMO.

im having an incredibly hard time deciding.. the whole theme of the car is blacked out.. but with the flakes black your right, it will just be too much black.. im having a hard time liking the bronze though, its just too subtle for me.. also while i have the wheels off i plan to paint drums and possibly calipers.. any advice for colour with bronze wheels? anything is an improvement to the rust

snowflakes look a little too small to be black imo. that's the only reason why i kept mine stock. maybe keep them stock or white.

Bronze FTW

Makes them look bigger against your black car. Nice chop, despite rushin' it.

I think Black is the way to go... It flows with the color of the car itself while the white and the bronze draw more attention to the wheels than I think is necessary (this is not meant to insinuate that your wheels suck... they don't).

black on black (on black interior) is hot. White wheels suck. you have to have a rag every time you get out of the car to wipe the brake dust off the fronts and road grime off the backs. black anodized w/ machined (NOT polished) lip FTW. more expensive than paint and clear, but at least you only have to do it once.

i like the white it complements the headlights and the fogs nicely i think..just get some clear corners and then it will flow better i think..idk i think it is because i dont really like bronz wheels on any color. and i dont like black wheels either all that much...CHROME FTW lol
