Pics of Gold or Bronze Rims on S. Silver???
Hey. Does anyone have any pics of a Sunlight Silver 8 with gold or bronze rims? I'm really curious as to whether or not it looks like ass. I'm seriously thinking of 5Zigen Heidfelds, or Axis Reverbs, but any pics will do as I just want to see if the colors mesh or clash.

Here's a photoshop attempt for you. My verdict is "ass". ;)
|
not on silver IMO
would look ok on red or black IMO |
maybe look decent on blue...but i am sticking with gunmetal w/ polished lip.
|
I'm putting dark bronze on my green, I'll have pics come springtime and I can take off the stock winter wheels.

Thanks for the chop. I doubt they'd be that "loud" in real life, and there's no way I'm painting my calipers red, but that gives me a clue. Gunmetal is the other color I'm thinking about, or maybe opal. I agree that gold or bronze would look good on a blue one...and green. I've seen a silver Z with gold rims and I thought it looked really sharp. That's what got me thinking about gold for mine (not a combo you see very often). I guess I'm looking for something that isn't "me too", without sacrificing performance.

silver and gold doesn't go together. would you wear a silver necklace with a gold watch?

I wouldn't wear a necklace. That's a little early 90's isn't it? Vanilla Ice comes to mind.
Sunlight Silver is a very light silver. I've seen plenty of white cars with gold/bronze rims, and it looks really classy. Silver and ....let's go with bronze isn't a combo you see very often. I'm thinking it could work, but I don't want to invest $2000 in something and be shocked and horrified, hence the reason I've requested pics from anyone who's been bold enough to try it. |
gold with silver. never works
|
silver and bronze works. but you'd have to accent it with some carbon fiber~! i'm at work...but later i'll post up a picture of a silver MR2 with bronze TE37s...it nice

AlexCisneros has bark bronze on his silver 8. Check out his VR Garage.

alrighty...i'm back home. here is the picture. it belongs to a guy in the MR2 community, one bad ass 2 in my opinion. hope the picture shows up.

very nice
mr2 I love the bodykit and wheel combo |
I think I might be sold on bronze, or at least dark gold. AlexCisneros' car is nice, even though those are 17's on there (a good idea for racing). I don't think I would want the rims quite that dark though. That is a pretty sweet MR2. I've always loved them.

Here are 2 pics from Evolution Autosports' page. I love the elegance of the G35c. The rims are Volks but Axis Reverbs are similar. Sunlight Silver isn't too far from white IMO. I think it'd work. Now how the Hell do I get someone to sponsor my car like this one? I'll slap a few static stickers on my car and go to a few meets if it means I get a huge discount on products.

I'm not feeling that g35 at all
I dont think the g35 looks very good fixed up |
There's a picture of it without all the decals, which is kickass, but it wouldn't open.
|
i can openly admit i thought about the bronze wheel look on my silver using the 19" mazdaspeed wheel. I think it would look nice, different from the usual gunmetal look everyone is doing including myself.

I love the g35
I am just surprised that when I see them fixed up they don't look that great IMO I normally would say any car looks better fixed up with aftermarket stuff. |

I don't like it on the silver.
Gunmetal looks good though! https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=39964 https://www.rx8club.com/attachment.p...chmentid=39965 |

The problem that I'm seeing in the pictures is that it's hard to get an accurate portrayal of the silver. It always appears darker than it really is in photos, and ironically enough, the gold rims appear brighter in pics than they do in real life. |

I know you said the rims were volks, but do you know what kind of volks those are? I think they would look great in black or gunmetal! |
