It's rim time, and I want to do something sort of different. Anyone got opinions or picturse of sixth gens with bronze rims? I want to get some bronze rims on my black 6th gen, but I don't know what type. I can't spend a lot 600 max probably. A wheel and tire package would be nice. Anyone got ideas or pics? Brands? What if I powdercoated GTS rims?

What about these? Can anyone PS them on a black Celi? How much would powder coating 7th gen GTS rims cost? I love that middle pic Pieter. Or these ADR Fuels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=43957 -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.

re the adr fuels: I dunno if I like bronze rims with polished lip. also the thing about bronze is the actual shade of the color, try to find as many pictures as possible of the particular wheel cause the colors tend to range drastically. personally I would go with a darker bronze like the 1st picture I posted but thats just me.

I like the combo. I dont like the rims design though. I dont know what to tell you. If you can get them really cheap then go ahead. The combo black car and bronze/gun metalic rims is beatiful. gives it a mystique dark attitude. |

More about the Fuels... I have them! They're not the typical golden bronze. They're really dark... say almost metallic brownish/grey... but they look great, IMO. Check out my profile for more pictures. They should look fine on black. It's not even that bronze looking... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

I am getting bronze wheels for my black car. I hope to have them in about 2 months. Mine are costing me a ton of $, but i think they are worth it. I think bronze wheels look awesome on black cars and that is why i am getting them!
