+1 on all bronze.

I just bought a set of OEM 19"s that were supposed to be "great condition" but when I got them 3 of 4 rims were curbed. Needless to say I wasn't happy. So I've decided to get them all resufaced and painted bronze.

I'm hoping to get this done as soon as I get some new tires on them in a few weeks. I'll post pictures when its complete.

Well I've been messing with a couple photoshop images to get an idea of what they would look like and this is what the results were. Let me know if this is what you had in mind.

^^^ not bad at all. I think a polished lip would set it off nicely. Also with a polished lip, curb rashes are fixed ALOT cheaper.

^^^haha

That's my car when it was still stock. I'm actually thinking about painting my stock 19's gold or bronze so I can swap them on when I go to the track. Or just throw them on every couple weeks/months to mix it up a little with my challenges.

Thanks for photoshopping my pic...looks good.

No problem, only reason I used yours was I saw it in another thread being photoshopped black with chrome lip.

And for all those interested in Bronze with a chrome lip his a quick PS:

You'll need someone better at PS than me to get a complete color match to CE28N Bronze. But I like where you're going with that, that's a sick color.
