The orange already makes a loud enough statement. Putting on bronze wheels seems like overkill.

IMHO, contrast is what makes cars/bikes look great. You make everything on the bike so colorful then it takes away from everything. I would just either polish them or powdercoat them another color.
Before I had a gixxer and I powder coated both wheels for $60 but that was a hook up through a friend but I'm sure you can get it for like 80-100.

The orange tribal is ugly enough on its own, i don't think bronze and orange really work well together.

Bronze would look TERRIBLE on Tribal orange.

i think as well

i think the best looking wheel for a tribal orange RR would be a polished aluminum, brushed aluminum, or chrome. IMO

A dealer around me was selling an orange tribal with colormatched wheels. It seemed to much for my taste.
It you don't want black, maybe white. It will contrast with the bike. As much as I hate crome. That may look decenet on the bike.
