How hott is that Bronze wheel color??

What's up guys,

I'm going with the niche form wheels however I'm conflicted on what color to go with.. Options are Charcoal or Bronze..

It seems like bronze is the hott "trend" right now as I'm seeing an abundance of these color wheels on a variety of different color cars. I have the vibrant red sedan, and I'm just not sure how the bronze will look against that red. I feel like bronze looks a little tacky in pictures but I've heard that pictures really don't do that wheel color justice.

Anyways, which one would you pic???

Damn, I really wasn't going to go bronze, but I think I may be headed in that direction especially after seeing this...

If it were my Moonlight White Sedan, I'd go with the Bronze. And if my car were Vibrant Red, I think I'd still go Bronze; (assuming I had the stone leather interior, which I would.) Niche has really come up with two gorgeous finishes here, so really there is no wrong answer. That bronze looks more like a matte-gold to me. Love it.

If your car were any of the gray variants (how many were there... six? LOL), then I think the Charcoal is the better choice.

Beautiful wheel either way. Nice choice.

Ya, see i do not have the stone leather, i have all back.. Also have the black rear diffuser, midnight grill and planning on vinyl wrapping the chrome window trim with gloss black as well...

Im conflicted because i feel like the charcoal will look the best to match the red/black theme, but the bronze might also look good as well... Decisions, Decisions..

Black interior, black OEM and aftermarket trim... in that case, I recommend you go with the charcoal over the bronze. Definitely over having black wheels. I'm of the opinion that black wheels only look good close up, in which case they can look real, real good. But when you step back and take in the whole car, they don't have any presence.

The charcoal, however, that would be an excellent middle-ground. An understated finish with a classy 15 spoke design.

Knuckle-bruisers to clean and wax, btw.
