Just put on the Cor Cipher wheels. Had them powdercoated Bronze Metallic lip and matte black face. Decided to go with something different. Flip flopped on Bronze or black for a long time.
In direct sunlight they're Bronze. In the shade they look gunmetal. Looks pretty good in gunmetal.15mm spacers all around. Probably change the rear out with 12mm or 10mm.

IMO-I think the bronze looks like a polished lip full of brake dust. I loved the black on your car, and those new wheels are super nice, I just don't think the bronze does them justice.

Yea. I'll be changing them when they go on.
Yea. Got mixed feelings too. Tired of the black look and wanted to do something bold. Was going to change my mind last minute and go with black. But figured what the hell. If I ever bend the any of the wheels and need to get them fixed. They'll be done in black.

My vote: GLOSS BLACK!
I definitely see where you were going with the bronze. Great color concept and I think it looks good...but I think that the gloss black would stand out much more...
Awesome upgrade either way it goes, I have a set of Cor Forged myself...

Love the bronze, love the fitment... but it just feels like something is missing 
I don't know what it is - could just be the color of the centers, maybe they should "pop out" at ya a slight bit more visually? Not sure. Love where you're going with these wheels though - I'm superglued to see what you're going to think of next 
PS Holla when you're in Bklyn next time - let's have lunch/coffee or smth
