Trying to Tame my New Lion. Bronze or Silver Shoes?

Damn, the accelerator on this car is undomesticated but I like it. I've had the car for 2 days now and I've pinned myself to the back of the seat unintentionally about a handful of times now.

First things first...getting rid of the stock rims. I'm digging the FIVE:AD S5 but wanted to get opinions of whether to go bronze or silver. I'm partial to bronze because my previous car had them. Car got stolen though and the G is the replacement. Pardon the photoshop hack job. I just learned how to use it today.





Here was my previous daily driver/track toy.

in the second picture, they look more gunmetal than silver to me. But I'd say go with the silver/gunmetal.

Silver for that color car. I think the bronze will look good on my car though

I like the bronze, has a nice contrast to the exterior color. Also, consider lowering it, will make a heck of a difference in the appearance.

On a side note, don't get the TSB for the gas pedal sensitivity done until you drive the car for a while. It took me a little while to get used to it but I like the quick response. Also, once you get the TSB done, it's not reversable. If after some time you still don't like it, then TSBaway.

Thanks bro. I liked the FIVE:AD because it's fairly priced and pretty original but I'd like to see more options for sure.

I've gotten use to the fact that you only need to press the accelerator a tad to get it going. I'm definitely not getting the TSB.

This lexus has the same gray look as the Blue Slate - that is when the Blue slate gets that dolphin gray look. I think it looks pretty good and not ricey with the bronze.

These are the ones that I have on my car and I think they are similarly priced as the Five Axis wheels


these are all photochops of different wheels on the car
