i feel like im goin color blind looking at rims to fit the ride.

i originally thought black would go well, but after looking at tirerack and merchants, it looks a bit off.

Is gunmetal/hyperblack the best way to go? I'm leaning towards that now.

what color and finish looks the best?

Personally I like bronze on BCM. I also think the luster of hyper-black looks a lot better than gunmetal on the darker colors (BCM, NBM, BSP).

i like gold/bronze on BBC, i think it looks great!

i agree with the other post, bronze would look real good.

I just got a '11 crimson mica and was contemplating the color of the rims too. I kinda like the gold but didn't know what others thought. Anybody like these or should I go with more spokes?

Good to go with that look , but I don't know the wheel specs or what tire size you're planning on.

eric5469

the wheels are 17 x7 with a 42 offset. what is a good offset to get? not sure which tires to get. what do you recommend cionide? saw those rims on tirediscounters. seem to be discontinued on other sites. are maxxim (konig) any good?

anyone have any pics of a bronze on the bcm?

what do you think about these?

17x7

or


18x8

the reason why the tenzos are 17 are because im staying around the 200 range per rim. the 18s will run $240 the 17s are $195 the R1's are $205 for the 18s

will that bronze look go well?

thanks

I know you aren't leaning towards black, but I have BCM with black rims & chrome lip... I like the way it looks

those look clean...hey i see you have the vertical leds...do they serve any purpose at all or is it just a cosmetic look? is there a separate switch for them or do they come on when u turn on the headlights?

ummm i don't actually see a real big difference at night, but i do think they look pretty awesome. kinda of auid-ish but umm i just had my friend wire them in so that when i turn on my headlights they come on

jaytrey

think you could put some pics up of the way it looks at night? i been thinking about doing it, but never knew what it would look like.

It's about time you posted a good side shot pic of your box! Looks great! I'm pleased to see that weren't compelled to join the "I have a spoiler" club but will you please peel that black tape off your A pillars? You'll love it, I gaurantee it!

coryjames

i hate peeled window tape imo makes it look like crap its better its there to keep the contrast it would look like crap exposed i pulled it of my first gen and hated it.
here is a good side shot that lead to a tail shot

I don't like peeled windows either but I like my A-pillars bare. Looks good on NBM.

Cool vid.

so..back to the original thread...

does the bronze look better than the hypersilver that i posted?

It's all a matter of personal taste... and my personal taste says "Yea, the bronze looks better."

And since you're looking for the opinion of others, I'll also throw out that I don't like 10-hole wheels, I'd search for some 5-hole bronze wheels before making a final decision.
I would also run black lug nuts, not chrome.
Obviously, this is all just my .02 and you should do whatever you like.
