Help! Opinions!

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Ok, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a different set of wheels for my GG IX MR. Looking at a set of High Metal Bronze RE30s. I need everyone's opinions on whether or not they think it will look good to have a bronze wheel on a GG IX MR. Please vote! Thanks!

[robb86]

I'd rock them on GG.

[shunderwunder]

Not my cup of tea, but I've seen some wheels that I wouldn't have thought would look good on GG that actually looked nice. Could look pretty mean. You shuld find someone who is good with Photoshop to put some on a pic of your car to get an idea of how it will look. I'd give it a shot for ya if you got some pics of the wheels & yer car. I'm pretty bad with Photochop so you may want to try someone else. ;)

I voted hell yes. IMO Bronze looks good, not a fan of gold on GG

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

We may just put Sharif's wheels up next to my car to get an idea. I'm just not sure.

Just to get an idea, Cyber Evo GG with 18x10.5 BRONZE CE28N's

The High Metal Bronze is a slightly different color. it has more of a silver/gunmetal coloring to it.

[Evolvedgti]

See, I think Bronze is good. Gold look best on black and white

[shunderwunder]

I actually like the gold a little better.
Found some pics in the GG thread on Evom. Bronze on GG looks better than i thought.

I like that Bronze on the Cyber Evo. You got me convinced. I'd do it. I like shit you dont see everyday.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

^ Ya, that's why I'm considering it. I just want to do something different that Hikaru won't copy me on :rolleyes:



:p

[TouringBubble]

You can pull off bronze, but it needs to be a bright bronze ... nearly gold. Dark bronze (like the Rota bronze) and gold just don't look right. The Volks on the Voltex car look good. This was my car on dark bronze Rotas.

Tru. It would be nice to have a car that doesn't look exaactly like another one in the area. I'm sure Jason will be glad to see you get new wheels too.

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

[TouringBubble]

I say too dark.

[shunderwunder]

^ I think I agree. Have to see it first. I like the Cyber Evos bronze better.

:p

Son of a......that's gonna leave a mark!

PS-I just ordered JDM heads/tails and a new SE lip....:p

[Hikaru]

On the real though, there is a past issue of Sport Compact Car that has bronze RE30's and it's GG. Looks hawt. Lemmie see if I can find it...

[GoBoost]

Guess im the only one that's gonna say NO here... I dont like it

[ultm8mind]

CCW CLASSICS, tight stuff. Get em'!!!

[Evolvedgti]

IMO that is too dark, too close to gunmetal you have now.

[jktripp]

love the color that you first posted ryan...

[shunderwunder]

^ Me too.

[bomjoon]

dark rims FTW~! no bronze.

unless its some one of a kind jdm madd tyte rims. then even pink is ok.

[em1toevo]

I love that look. That color looks hawt on Sharif's beast. It would look sexay on your GG MR too. Are you going to sell your Advans?

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Done deal. These are on the way. Sold the Advans already ;)

[shunderwunder]

Less than 24 hours ladies & gentlemen :D

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Thanks for everyone's opinions. Hopefully it will turn out nicely :) I'll post up pictures when they arrive. (should be Monday)

[jktripp]

which ones you going with... i must have missed it??

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

RE30 18x9.5 +28 High Metal Bronze

[ryanowarrior]

nice nice nice i think those will look killer my friend cant wait to see em....

[jktripp]

+1! cant wait to see them on

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

Just ordered new tires, Bridgestone Potenza RE-11's 255/35/18. :D Should be fun to see how they perform compared to the RE-01s

[CH@Dbee]

i always though i would hate bronze on GG till i saw a few pics. i say its looks sick. have your calipers powercoated bronze to match the wheels.....

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I'm sure there will be a lot of mixed thoughts on it. I'm just hoping at the end of the day I like it. I'm going out on a limb on this one. My color of choice was flat black, but it was not in stock, so hopefully this will look just as good.

[Evolvedgti]

^that is all that matters in the end anyways, if you like it

[shunderwunder]

i always though i would hate bronze on GG till i saw a few pics. i say its looks sick. have your calipers powercoated bronze to match the wheels.....

I'll have to dissagree here. I don't think calipers & wheels should match. Being diffrent colors is what sets them off. Calipers that are color matched to the car would look good though.

[jktripp]

i agree with shunder on that.... something to make each stand out but not clash

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

I should do a yellow or orange set just to throw people...

Andy, may be sending you an old set of calipers to play with before too long.

[shunderwunder]

Not a problem bud. Just let me know.

[CH@Dbee]

the fucked up thing is that i agree with you 100% even though you are disagreeing with me :o

how that works im not sure lol

[shunderwunder]

Gotta love it :D I'm just that good ;)

[jktripp]

shunder is so good at that....

[GoBoost]

Ryan, flat black woulda been awesome =D

I'm just a flat black fanboy lately though...

I hope you dont regret it because it wasnt your first choice. Hope you still like it though.

Ya, I already have 2 sets of Flat Black wheels and 1 other set in gunmetal on my other cars, so I just wanted to do something different. If it ends up horrible I can always sell or powder coat them.

[CH@Dbee]

Gotta love it :D I'm just that good ;)

skillz :(

[BlewByYouEvoVIII]

O snap. Wheels and tires came today. Hoping to get them mounted and balanced here in a bit.

[ryanowarrior]
