Space Gray /w Dark Bronze Wheel

UltimateBMW · 06-10-2010, 11:22 AM

So I'm curious what a dark bronze wheel would look like on a space gray M3. Here is a little paint job I did. Pretty crude, but I don't have photoshop where I'm at, atm.

Thoughts? I'm in between if I like it or not. If someone with PS available wants to help me out and take a stab at it, that would be welcomed.

Not sure about the rim style though. Maybe a style similar to the HRE P40 or the RAC RG63.

Here is a second stab at it. Still quite crude.

Hah, yeah. Definitely not remotely close to how a finished product would look. Just trying to get a general idea myself on it.

eh, no thanks.

bronze clashes with silver or gray of any shade, so my vote goes to a more formula silver finish from volks.

Not quite sure how that thread is relevant?

A-Man · 06-10-2010, 04:33 PM

^ its relevant because hes showing you the best wheel finish for space gray. bronze

MrHarris · 06-10-2010, 11:26 PM

Those pictures make it look like it would seem bad, but it's a good color combo IMO

theres a difference between gold and bronze...

bronze is a much deeper darker color than gold

Robmaster · 06-11-2010, 02:08 AM

that's a damn bad photoshop!

but I really like the combo. i think i would look great. really special. silver wheels are much too boring for me.

IbanezGod · 06-11-2010, 02:32 AM

ok Bronze is much hotter than gold! Sold!

Thanks~ yea the color i got "satin bronze" from Eric@Pyspeed is pretty unique, at night time (sig. pic) they look like dark/gunmetal wheels, but when they are clean and the sun hits them, they really stand out. Love the two-toned look.

Its too bad i havnt cleaned them for so long, but because of the base color, they just look like matte carbon-bronze...i love the versatility of them...
