Black car - gunmetal. Trust us on this one, bronze will look odd - black will look like your riding on doughnuts.

Yea that does make sense...i'm going to try to paint the rims gun metal, but covering the outer edge of each rim with tape...so i will have gun metal rims with a silver lip lining at the edge....i''m trying to copy the Volk racing LE37 rims......

Get them powdercoated, it'll hold up better and not look cheesy after the first 6 months....
