Good bronze wheel

**4cylfun** · 2-25-08, 6:29

Ok so the car is going to be arcadia green, kinda like a forest green. I think bronze wheels with that color would be sick, so my question.

Who the hell makes a bronze wheel that i could afford. Looking for just 17's. Don't want to go any bigger because i would like to still have some lightweight wheels but i'm not going to professionally do this so i'm not worried about it being too heavy.

I want like a 5 spoke or 6 spoke. I don't really like konigs cause thats what everyone has. Enkie's are nice but i can't really think of a 5 or 6 spoke they have that is bronze. Any ideas i would appreciate. I can't wait till i paint it. I already began sanding the hood. My friend studied body work and stuff and last night when we were doing stuff to my car he found all sorts of little bumps and imperfections. I was amazed stuff i can't feel but he would spray water or something to make it glossy and sure enough there are little spots where its low or whatever.

well i found some 5zigen wheels that look sick but i dont' know if i like the color.

i guess i want like a dark gold finish. Something similar to like an older suby. Tell ya what, if any of you have some bronze wheels give me a link to your car. I want to look at a bronze wheel in the light. Most of these internet pics aren't on the car, just the wheel itself which looks great with their lighting and stuff but doesn't help me.

Also funny mistake, i went to discountire.com and put in 88 mazda mx6 and got the 93 model..........a little difference between the two lol.

You can always paint a set if you find a style you like that isn't offered in bronze.

I was looking at these two wheels for a long time. I bought a set of m-editions to hold me over.

Drifz 517

Sportmax 962 (gold, not bronze but still a nice wheel)

Now I want to buy these and paint them bronze when I am tired of the silver

Nexo SS-5

I hope these were helpful!

**4cylfun** · 2-26-08, 13:55

the drifz 517's are just the kind of 5 spoke i was hoping for. Something with a nice wide mildly thick wide surface area. What site could i get those from, or should i just ebay them.

**Chefsp0t** · 2-26-08, 14:17

Click the links I put on the words. Those were the cheapest websites I could find for each wheel.

**SAdrmmr04** · 2-26-08, 16:48

Volk GT-C

but those are a bit pricey

also a fan of SSR comp rims

i think those are the others i looked at. Are they a dark bronze in real life or kind of a lighter yellowish tint.

**jewels318** · 2-27-08, 21:06

rota's?

they're a lot cheaper, and they're light.
probably run you for about $700 for 17's.

Slipstreams are played out like the philly fade.

**jewels318** · 2-27-08, 21:15

^^
true that..
but they are good wheels and relatively cheaper than most wheels out there.
they just look better on a honda.

**Justin** · 2-27-08, 21:17

That and lately I have heard complaints about rota's splitting at the spoke area and completely coming apart from the wheel.
