Default Going for the bronze!

Bronze color of wheel that is! Anyone have any pics of c5 or c6 vettes (preferrably black) with bronze - gold colored wheels on them? Not the cheesey gold plated bling bling look, but the race bronze look. Let me know. Something with this look to it...

I know these are kinda importish or ricer-ish, something might find on a 350z, but i'm just going after the color of these.


or...

And even still, its not a far fetched thought. It's almost like magnesium wheels on a black c5

Default something like this color?

You looking for something like this color?[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]This has some shine to it because I sprayed a ployurethane clear over them after I painted the color.

I suggest going to your local auto paint supply and look thru the sample books for the right color.

There is a special edition Z06 with that wheel color and blue side stripes.
If you checked Iforged's website, many great looking Porches, Vipers, BMW's got that color. They look great

eww that Z06 looks horrible! I to have heard of that car but man Dick Guldstrand can keep that thing lol.
As far as those wheels you posted above IMO those wheels do not belong on a Corvette. A Subaru WRX STi yes but not a vette.

Wheel style, i agree. But i think the color of them would look good on a black z06.

I thought the same thing. Then I saw one in person (at Guldstrand's shop) and it's actually really nice.

I agree. A long time ago, there was a guy here selling some CCW classics with a gold center... they would have looked good too.
