gold/bronze OEM rims what do you think?

[Xsalfior]

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?

Also wondering how it would look on sepang bronze. Might be too light for it

Could be. It's hard to find a set of wheels that are more bronze than gold.

I like them.

I've always considering painting my Auto-X/Track OEM wheels a crazy color, never went though with it though...yet

[epbrown]

not bad at all, similar to l4zy's car, iirc.

Looks sweet! Do it!

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.

looks good but i might be bias hehe

NICE!! I agree.....a bit darker..maybe more bronze...but they do like nice!

I had my oem 18's bronze at one point and loved it. I got a ton of compliments and it actually made me paint my oem zcp's bronze too.

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

[Finnegan]

Looks great! Man, another mod to consider...

[BIMMERGUY91]

i plan to do something crazy with my stock wheels once I get new ones

[KLH]

I'm diggin it.

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:

def can't wait to see your pics, I've been thinking about refinishing my Morr VS8s in a gunmetal/bronzish color

[onebluemcm]

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?

I agree, go darker gold or just go bronze
