Ok let me know what wheel color looks better. I have painted them different colors

This is a follow up to my last thread where I asked for some wheel colors that would go with my paint. I went with a Bronze color that I got in a rattle can and just a gloss black. So please give your opinion. The basis of this is next year I will hoprfully have some 19s and I will paint them the "right way" or powdercoat them.

Bronze








Black

I voted silver. The bronze is too close to the beryllium and clashes and the black is too dark. JMHO.......

The bronze is just a duplicolor wheel paint. I just did these to try something different. I will dismount wheels and paint with a gun once I find something I like. Im not happy with either color so Im leaning back towards the oem silver. Maybe ill mix up some gold paint and give it one more try.

The bronze is too close to your body color... but they would work bodycolor.
I'm normally not a fan of bodycolor wheels, but yours is such a subtle color, I think it could work.

Black works too.

The bronze kinda looks badass but I could see where some people may say it's tacky. Do you have a drop on the car? And if so, how much of a drop is it and did you do it yourself?

I'll be honest.... both look turrble. Don't consider this trolling, it's constructive criticism.

Black = Color of the car is too dark to pull of the black wheels.

Bronze = Looks like you tried to match the wheels to the exterior paint, but it didn't work out.

Both colors immediately make me think of a tuner car. That's not a bad thing, but when you painted your car Berylium, you kick it up a notch. Wheel finish needs to be better than someone with a Civic can replicate with a rattlecan.

My advice? Polished or matte silver wheels with body colored returns on the spokes. Wheels will look fantastic and will be a good compliment to the darker paint.
