I was gonna try the same thing. Tried gunmetal on mine now but to me looks like extremely dark bronze.

I find the original polished aluminum looks better than matte bronze. Now if you would go with gloss bronze or copper, that would be nice. Not a big fan of matte anything on wheels.
However, I do admit that the wheels in Skrilla's first picture above look absolutely stunning on a black car.

[QUOTE=Shakeydeal;1591895361]My vote is for neither.
How about polished or machined aluminum? That's my choice.

Can't do that with wheels that are already plated
Unless you want to donate some new ones

I think I'll have time this weekend to do the bronze. I went back to chrome for now, in preparation for a car show this weekend. It's all exotics, so no way I'm showing up with my $#;t mismatched.
