im not a big fan of silver cars with bronze rims... I think if anything, i would go with those black rims with the lip. (the right front tire) i think i like that one best.

naw..bronze only works well on blue, red and black cars. for your car, i would go with black rims with a polished lip or just plain silver rims.

I am a HUGE fan of Bronze. But it only works with certain colors. And none of those colors are Silver. Sorry.

It's your ride. Either option, it'll still be faster than mine

yeah, i agree with most everyone else. i think that you should keep the black rims with the polished lip. if you had a little more bronze on your car (as if decals were an option...but i wouldn't) the bronze ones might be feasible. but i still like your car as is...

Ff it was my car, i would go with the black rims. They would go well with your CF hood.
