true that. I was gonna go gunmetal but I'm glad I went bronze on my car. With the window tint and the fact EVERYTHING is painted white the gunmetal would be pretty contrasty...but I think in the right way it flows. I like it. My bronze is kinda gunmetally....not dark though. I dig it.
I might have to have you take a picture of your car from the side and photoshop the wheels onto my wagon> Might have to go gunmetal and polished...different wheels of course. haaaa. I'm no bighter.
But I am attached to the bronze...looks right on my car.

Jason how bad was the rim with the bend the outer lip? I've had this tiny bend on the lip of one of my CE28's for awhile now and was interested in finally getting it repaired. Did they break down the pricing for each wheel and say how much it was to fix just this bend in the rim? Here's how my rim looks

Dan, they'd have no problem with that. Remember, one of mine was bad enough a tire couldnt hold a bead. Just make sure they can get the paint right.
