Magazines like Superstreet only say stupid things like that because they are sponsored by all those aftermarket wheel companies, etc. An obedient consumer buys NEW things... anyway, I think the stock GSR wheels look wicked and yours even more so in bronze, good job.

yeah theyre starting to chip. my buddies and i just painted them. we wanted to see how the bronze would look before i jumped in and got em powdercoated. it was more of a boredom thing..but obviously we didnt do a great job because theyre chipping. the wheels and the valve cover will be in my hands wednesday and i'll put em on the car thursday night. i'll make sure to keep u guys updated with pics

Nice, I think that color bronze looks good if it were solid all the way around the wheel. Definitely different looking but I like it.

Nice so far. If you powdercoat your rims bronze, go for a darker color!

i actually decided last minute to do a gloss black on the rims..if i do bronze it'll be with a new set of wheels already bronzed. i dont trust powdercoating colors to be one i'll like
