Bronze Wheels with Bronze Calipers?

[Sphinx]

I love the bronze rims but I would only choose bronze calipers if they matched the exterior color. My preferred spec is orange with bronze bronze. If I can't get that, then radiant red with bronze rims, and red calipers.

The emerald green worked well with the bronze rims and calipers. So it all depends on whether there's enough gold in the color to make it all come together.

I'm tired of black rims.

That was the exact spec my dealer had on the lot when I was buying my car but I just couldn’t get myself to like it. I actually wanted the orange color car but couldn’t get past the bronze wheels and calipers plus the extra cost for them if I wanted to change them out.

Styling is all subjective of course but IMO the bronze wheels look good on Rift, Argent Silver and Black. I find the Blaze Orange color really needs the contrasting satin black wheels with grey calipers. In person the orange and bronze/gold didn’t contrast enough or something. It just didn’t look right to my eyes.

Which to your point is highly subjective. I saw the orange, Bronze, Bronze combo last year in person and I was in love.

Nice on the 3. Have had 3 of them. Currently a white M3P with black rims - maybe that's why I'm tired of black rims.

Anyone have a part number for the bronze wheels on their own? My car is coming with the standard wheels and I can't change it at this point, but I am considering buying the bronze wheels to use with summer tires.

Also would love to see a pic with Black Raven and those wheels; think that would really look good w/ the black paint color.

Anyone ordered Bronze wheels with Bronze Calipers? I have that in my CT5-V build with Shadow Gray Metallic. Wonder if it will blend too much into each other. Thinking of changing to Blue or Red calipers. Pictures below from a CT4-V for reference.

I hear you. My last few cars had black wheels so I am getting tired of them as well. I have the base wheels now on black raven, it looks ok but not my favorite. I think prefer more of a gun metal the most, so you can at least see the wheel and tire separation. I am still looking for some aftermarket wheels that I might like but it looks like slim pickings for the Blackwings.

Here is my solution - bronze for the summer, black for the winter. Best of both worlds .

Did you buy the 2nd set from the dealer or buy them online? I have Black Raven 4BW and thinking about a set of Bronze Wheels.

Got them slightly used locally.

I think the standard non-Blackwing CT4-V wheels with the Pearl Nickel finish would look better with Rift or White than any of the Blackwing wheels.

I put some Enkeis with a similar matte silver finish on my previous white WRX STI, and the combo just worked for me.

Yes, I think the Tech Bronze wheel style/pattern in Nickel would look good. We just don’t get many choices on the Blackwings. Hoping the aftermarket improves.
