    Default black or bronze

    well since i was bored waiting on my motor today, i decided to do some TLC ive been meaning to do for the past bit but didnt have time. well im on to wheels.

    last week i was thinking about getting red GT3's but the red is brighter than my red, but now im getting my car painted next week and so it will be a little lighter with the color i chose. but i also cant find any 16in and 15s i think look to small on a big car like mine.

    so i decided i would paint my wheels. one of them i did gloss black, and the other i did bronze.

    here are the pics:
    black

    bronze






    im really digging the bronze but the black i think will look good once the motor is in and the front is a little lower. im kinda stuck. which looks better? i had bronze slips before and i alway got compliments on the color combo.

    ive had 'real' wheels before 16inch rota slips. in bronze

    there are only 2 wheels i would have that i can afford and that is 16in gt3's but they are hard to come by for a decent price
    or 16 in rota circuit 8's and i dont think they would look to good.

    so thus here..

    dont hate, just give a opinion

    Well if your going to ride the stock wheels I think the bronze looks good from certain views, but I would go with black after the car is painted etc....

    I hate bronze. It looks stupid. It looks like dirty gold. I'd say stick with polished. Polished looks so much better than bronze. Don't get me started with black wheels. Let's just say i completely dislike black wheels, whether it be flat, matte, or polished.

    it seems to me that bronze only works on certain colors... Most of the colors saabaru uses.. white, blue, and black. For that color... and that car... I'd definetely go with the black.

    i'd go with a black, but it has to be good paint...not like the black in the first picture. personally i like professional gloss black instead of the shitty ass paint that people spray from cans.

    The bronze looks better than the black. Black wheels only really look good on black cars.

    You're all ricers. Black and bronze look stupid as hell. Go with highly polished.

    where did you get that paint from, and what specific color bronze is that.
