    Dude the wheels look good ,but if you like the broze theme get a custome colour made up with more yellow in it it will bring out the gold effect.The only problem with bronze is
    the always look dirty like you been racing around a track for 6 hours.
    My wheels are silver but after a few weeks they get dirt and brake dust over them then they look a little gun metal like.
    Another thing is to have them match your silver.Why dont you try painting them white, then paint the spokes black ,or colour a grafite blue tone that would look nice against your silver.
    When you do your paint job do a write up on it with lots of pics
    good luck man.

    Good luck with the painting.

    If I was bold and daring, I would go for a silver or yellow but have it so the colors reflect light like those reflector jackets the traffic police wear. I guess i'm just obsessed with reflectorthings..

    Take a look at it this way: you'll gain more experience and might just start liking painting wheels.
