so i have a yellow car… and i always see some sort of black or some shade of silver/white on these cars for wheels. i want to do somthing a little bit different. what do you think of bronze/copper or whatever you call this color? ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/f5fe4372-f8d4-4791-9f24-dd1123b0232.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/f5fe4372-f8d4-4791-9f24-dd1123b0232.jpg) ![http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/d9a1feab-7666-40cc-985c-45032026881.jpg](http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u160/rootk13/d9a1feab-7666-40cc-985c-45032026881.jpg) thanks for n e and all opinions. i plan on buying a nice set of wheels over the summer… hopefully… and i was debating on powdercoating my stockers for the mean time… cause they are kinda beat up with this weird brown color in the fronts… i think its from break dust sitting for too long. ---

bronze would be HOT! lets get some wheel paint in bronze from autozone and do up the stockers to see if you like the look. worse case scenario you strip the paint back off and lost $30 LETS DO IT! ---

yellow needs a contrasting color for the wheels… it just never looks good when you try to match or do bronze etc… ---

Id say gunmetal also , oh and for the stains on the front wheels spray on some simple green you can get it auto zone in a bottle let it sit for a few minutes and then use a fine bristle brush and a little elbow grease it will come off if you rinse and repeat a few times. ---
