I'm looking to upgrade my wheels on my 550 Sport to 19's, but am having a hard time deciding between matte bronze or matte gunmetal. The car is Black Sapphire, and I don't really like the look of black wheels on a black car, although I like dark wheels. I thought maybe bronze or gunmetal would be a better choice to give the car some contrast.
I've been looking at this style, and TSW makes them in both colors and come in 19x9/ 19x10.5; TSW Nurburgring
Matte Bronze:

I think these look pretty interesting....TSW Willow; 19x8/ 19x9.5
Matte Bronze:

And here is my car for reference with the 124's.....

If anyone knows of any similar styles as the first style above that come in matte bronze or matte gunmetal, post them up.
Thanks

Nurburgring in Bronze. The willows will look tiny in 19 with the lip. One piece wheels with a lip are a no go for me.

wow..thanks for the replies fella's. Greatly appreciated
So the willows in 20's, otherwise Nurburgring in 19's?
Looks like so far more people like the bronze
