I did a quick ps of my car with OEM wheels in gold/bronze. I'm thinking of doing this in the spring what do you guys think?

I think they look pretty good. I wonder what they would look like on Sepang Bronze?

hey guys thanks for all the comments, I would like to go a little darker than this and more to the Bronze side but I couldn't get the colour right in photoshop...I'm glad everyone so far seems to dig it.

I like it, I actually started a thread here a month or so back getting opinions on gold BBS's on my car, I even did a photoshot image. I wussed out, I ended up going with some Schnitzer's that I got powdercoated a dark graphite color. After seeing your photos shop pics I'm second guessing my choice....oh well I can always have them stripped and recoated another color next winter.

Edit... Just noticed the wheels in my sig pick is when they were bronze

I like it. Curious what it would look like on Silver Grey. I suck with photoshop. If you have a spare moment, could you throw some gold/bronze rims on my car? Here is a photo, I can provide higher res if needed.

I'll plan to take some photos soon, been lazy about that ... but I have a silver gray on CSL's in a color called "sunken treasure gold", which is essentially a glossy bronze when clean. It's a color combo that probably shouldn't work on paper but looks pretty good in real life. This was my inspiration:

Anyone know if it's safe, structurally speaking, to powder coat OE wheels? I've heard the heating process can change material characteristics in a forged wheel. OE wheels are forged, no? Or are they cast? Can;t remember. Either way, even with a cast wheel, I wonder if the heating process with powder coating could be detrimental?
