I want some bronze rims super bad. And I'm getting new tires soon. So I'd like to grab the rims and get the right tires. Not some cheapo s***, but not expensive either.

I've looked all around, can't find hardly any with 114.3x5
 
What size are you looking for? Also, you can always paint other wheels bronze. It's not too hard to do.
 
What's your price range? In dollars.

I agree Rotas are going to be your best bet if you are dead set on getting new wheels.

I personally like the Rota Torque (knockoff of the PF01 IMO) in 17x7.5 for $700:

Gold would be even better than bronze too:

Don't forget about used wheels too. I check craigslist and ebay regularly. You never know what kind of a deal you will find. My 19s were used on ebay for $800 with tires and they retail for $400+ a wheel new.
 
Man you're lucky I check Craig's list every day and never see anything worthwhile. Your wheels look awesome btw.
 
Thanks man. I don't think I will ever part with them but I do want a few more sets of wheels. I am kind of addicted to them. LOL I have a set of 17s on the car now and I have my 19s stored for winter and I am picking up another set of wider 17s next week. Then I still want a different set of 19s with a lip on them for spring.
 
I know how you feel I'm always looking for another set of wheels. At one point I had 6 sets for 2 cars :D
 
Price range, I'd like to stay low. Lower than 600 dollars including shipping if that's possible.
I'm mainly looking for a 8-10 spoke design in bronze or gold. Size, I don't really care, just not 19" or over.
And how much would it be to get some wheels painted?
 
If you do it yourself maybe $20 in paint and prep stuff. If you get them done professionally probably $200 depending on how bad of shape they are in.
 
Rotas are nice and def. check out Wheeldude on here for some good prices.

As for painting your wheels it will cost you your time to prep them and a few bucks for some spray paint and clear. Or you could get them powder coated for approx $100 a wheel. Some people have paid less than that and some have paid more, will depend on the shops near you that offer the service.
 
Just give some auto body shops a call and see what they would quote you for doing it. Doing it your self would be the easiest way to do it. If you can use a spray can you can do it. Not much to it. I'm sure you could find a how to on here for it also.
