thanks for making this thread worth while again!!!! it was so hard for me to paint my rims bronze after i saw your car it looks so clean
(rofl) haha btw I really like this color good choice looks nice with black mica
thanks i could not be happier
ha well it looks clean when its freshly washed, the flat black look from the brake dust sucks, bronze probly hides that better
yeah i got ya, im just venting a little bit haha

i have a ms3 metro gray and im deciding if i should paint my rims black, gold or bronze...which one would look the best on a metro gray ms3?
I was thinking the same thing with my CWP, b-ron's look really good its kind of swaying me toward bronze. I guess I'll have to do some photoshop work.
no one ever wants to go gray rims! Why not?

How is the paint holding up on these paint jobs you guys are doing?
I would like to do this but fear it will look like s*** in a few months and just look ghetto.

mine was done by a shop with a paint gun and clear coat. So the water runs right off when washing I dont have to dry them. Looks brand new:
Gunmetal or gray rims probably will look good on black mica speed 3. I dont really dig flat black on black cars.
Exact same situation! I have seen some pics where the black looks ok, and in others the black looks so clean/dark/glossy that the paint on the car looks dull. I feel bronze on black, but not on metro gray. Ideas????
Flat black wheels on black cars CAN looks good, but I agree it's kind of rare. Of course, coming from the Civic/Integra circle, I saw a few pretty nice examples of that

That looks real nice, do you mind my asking how much that cost?
A friend did it for $50/wheel. But used 2-3 coats of paint I believe and clearcoat as well. It was with a professional paint gun. So the quality would be much better than using a normal spray paint can. But I'd have to see other's close up to see how a spray paint can looks.
Does anyone have a hi-tech camera like a D40 or something that shows good detail? If so and you sprayed your wheels yourself, take an angled closeup and post it so we can see the texture. i would think the more flat/textured the more dirty they would get and clearcoated would stay cleaner.
