Need your feedback ... :)

My GT Sedan is Sunlight Silver (or atleast I think that's what the colour is called) and I'm thinking of getting some wheels, I've decided on what wheel I wanna get, but it comes in 2 colour options.

Which do you think would look better on a my car?

Dark Bronze:

Silver:

I'm thinking the Silver would blend into the car a lil too much and look almost OEM~ish ... but then I think the Dark Bronze won't look right on Silver ... wish I can find pics of Silver cars with dark bronze wheels.

Whachathink?

I like the look of the bronze wheel. Not sure how it may look against silver though. Contrast wise I'm not sure they would stick out or not.

I chose Hyper Grey for mines.

Of the two you put, I'd go with the bronze. Thats the colour I wanted originally, however, the rim styles I liked were not in my budget.

I would personally go for the bronze wheels too, cause one of the guys in our Miata club has a Silver PHRT Miata, and he put Silver TE37's on and I tell ya, it looked soooo OEM-ish ... was a shame cause those are really nice wheels, but it just didn't "pop"

But that being said, I already have one car that screams pull-me-over!! So it'd be nice to keep the M3 kinda low key but not so much so that it still looks OEM.

I'm leaning towards the Dark Bronze tho. Just hoping someone can point me towards some pics of Silver cars with dark bronze wheels.

bronze is a nice colour but i don't think it'll look good on silver, silver will blend in too much and black is a nice contrast but sometimes can't see the rim to appreciate it. a nice off black like gun metal or a dark grey of somesort would do it i think. i have a sunlight silver as well and might be going with something like a gun metal when i come around to buying rims.

I would go with hyper silver with a chrome lip or gloss black!

+1 for the gunmetal or even black.

It seems that a lot of people are going those routes but I think they are far from played out.

I'm partial to bronze, but i also like hyper silver or gunmetal on a silver car.

I've seen alot of ppl using matte black on a silver 3. The gram lights come in a gunmetal colour...I think that would look great on a silver 3.

Just a thought.
