What do you guys think of Bronze wheels on a Black car? There are many shades of bronze but here are a few examples.
.
Not black, but another shade of bronze
And then where Im going with this is: (fugs I used a pic of your black 124s as a starting point, hope you don't mind)
Not the conservative approach, I know. What are your thoughts?

it's definitely different which is a good thing... not sure if I'd get bronze for myself, but it sure does look nice..

I do think it looks pretty cool; aggressive and different. When I originally ordered my 360 Forged wheels, I asked for brushed titanium which was supposed to have a bronzish tint. I guess I wasn't bold enough to go with straight bronze like the wheels on the Porsche above. But when I got the wheels, it came in brushed aluminum. Oh well....
You should go for it. It'll definitely look pretty racy if that's the look you're after.

I'm contemplating going with a bronze color on my stock 124s. I'm hoping it will still look aggressive. I just can't decide if I want to give it a try, or go with something that I've seen examples of like "fugs" black 124s.
