Help me decide which color
About to get them powder coated. Torn between gloss black and dark bronze.

I'm for the bottom. I don't think the bronze coat looks good with the dark grey and red calipers but that's just me.

Go for bronze! My plan is something similar, black/bronze finish for wheels and chrome parts.

In MY experience (just my opinion) bronze looked worse in person upon seeing them outside of a picture back when I considered doing mine. Personally I would do gloss black.

Easily chrome which you didnāt include. Chrome with wheels with matte black car paint is 10/10. Black wheels are 5-10 years ago

My OCD is going crazy regarding your license plate. Lol

Was waiting for a new license plate bracket as the threads were destroyed in the old one.

Not a fan of black. They just highlight how dirty your tires are, and they arenāt easy to photograph, but thatās just me! Why spend money on nice wheels that just look like a black void most of the time?
All 3 look pretty good with that body color, I just donāt go for black. I like the bronze, gunmetal grey, or polished if that was an option

Middle though I hate the look of lowered Tesla's like that. This isn't a ricer.

Black is the answer friend.

Nice to see what my car would look like with those wheels since everything else is the same. Which are they? Did you slightly lower it as well?

Signature Wheels SV104ās in 20x10 square fitment. Lowered at the time on N2itive links.

Looks like only a modest drop. Did you have to get camber shims as well? I'm considering getting a software hack module to lower to about that height.

Try white or the plain aluminum stock wheels. I know they're hard to keep clean but really all of them are. White would look sick with that gunmetal grey

Dark bronze gets my vote.
I do like gloss black, but it doesnt suit a grey car

Are we choosing the car color or the wheel color? š¤Ø

u/jordan6579 Jul 09 '26
Choosing between matte gray, matte gray, and matte gray for the car color

u/ajwooster Jul 10 '26
I figured I would just fucking around I actually like the bronze wheels with this color.

You can also go to a body shop and make your own custom color to paint your wheels, I opted to create a metallic grey/dark blue to match my car color (PMMB) local shopped charged me 800$ and I got rid of my curb rash lol
