Wheel color feedback wanted...

I have a set of Z06 blade wheels that I wanted something outside of the "norm" in terms of color. Just got them back from the powder coater, color "Burnt Bronze". Thoughts?? Im really on the fence and dont want to mount tires just yet. Car is Shark Grey.

Wheel color is such a personal (and subjective) thing. If you like it, that's all that should matter

I have Shark Gray and seriously considered bronze or a gray when I got rid of my chrome wheels. Ended up with black for now.

I think it will look good

Why do you care? Did "they" pay for your car? Do "they" drive your car? If you like it, you should do it.

As long as you like them that's all that should matter , not what anyone else thinks. I know you want some feedback to here other peoples reactions, but just mount them they look different and unique.

Look okay, does not really make the overall exterior "pop" or have that wow factor if that is what you were looking for.

I'm generally not a fan of unique colored wheels, but I have to say that looks sharp with the shark gray.

I like chrome, black chrome definitely not flat black. Your wheels look great to me, better than the gold I've seen. Your tires have such a small sidewall are they 20s in front?

Looks bad *** and classy at the same time. The Shark Grey has a bronze undertone anyway. Add in that they're the blade wheels, and you have a win win. I do think you are misguided as far as what is meant when guys say they got new shoes for their car.
