I'm very partial to that colour combo... silver car, bronze wheels... my Mercedes follows suit. Looking good!

Thanks I almost went with the darker shiny finish bronze burst, but I saw this color on a set of 10 spokes mounted to a BRZ in their customer picture backlog, and fell in love with it. The high gloss finish would have clashed with the high flake Quicksilver on the car, and thd bronze burst is suuuuuper dark/almost black. You can still see the metal flake in the bronze when you are up close, but it doesn't detract from the aggressive flake load in the paint on the body. The satin finish over the metalic base makes the concave faces of the wheels really pop!

Plus, this color hides brake dust really well. The last picture in the line up I'm posting with this reply, is after an entire weeks worth of brake dust build up commuting to work, and running the street. Stock pads too, so plenty of dust.

I love that colour combo, don't let anyone tell you otherwise lol. When the sun hits the spokes... totally eye catching. It's different, but not "out there", and few people go with bronze on any colour, let anyone silver.

The ultra deep concave faces look amazing on the C5. I bet it would look amazing on any blue, black, and the pewter specifically
