Actually you can find various tones of bronze.... from really "HEY LOOK AT ME GUYS" to a discrete elegant look, rims are not made in just 4 shades. I agree with sk8 though... if youre having flat black... make it look i dont wanna use the term, but you might understand me easir "VIP" style... (gawd.. i sound so dumb).
By that i mean... elegant subtle, and things that make it stand out, but that dont look out of place or bad.
AWWW heck... i couldnt find one, but *inster picture of a flat black car with dark bronze rims*

yea black on black accents are so sexy... on my last rs i redid the entire interior flat black, but in the "cockpit" i smoothed out the entire lower have of the driver and passenger side (including the doors, under the steering wheel, and the sides of the center console) and painted that gloss black, it was so sweet looking. it looked awesome with the new black seats and new black carpet

Yea I am still installng new black carpet in my ride now. I also redid the door inserts to black. They were green. Yea, I am definitely going for a more subtle look and obviously as sophisticated as possible. Though my Rhino lines window trim may look a little rough . lol

Where can I find the carbon fiber wheels and where can I find different shades of bronze rims?

Yea, well the guy there was a friend of a friend who I dint get to speak with. I know they dont have the piant but my issue is the guy said they only run maaco paint thru their machines. Damn franchises. I gotta see if I can talk to my friends friend.

Man carbon fiber wheels are nasty.


Now I gotta find a paint shop that can do my car. Anyone? Tri-State NYC area? Lol
