Man I don't know bronze, if done correctly, looks NICE on white. Just my opinion though, do what you want. I think gunmetal is pretty much played out even though I have gunmetal with a polished lip on my car, if I had the choice I would love a set of nice bronze wheels, but like I said, that's just me.

The only reason I say gunmetal is the fact that there is SUCH a fine line on bronze between dirty and lookin good. You HAVE to keep the brake dust off them CONSTANTLY or it'll look like @$$

That's the reason I'd say gunmetal. The dust won't show up nearly as much on a darker color rim and especially with the bronze it's already in the color range for it to look REALLY dirty with only a little dust... I don't know if the different pads and rotors will help or not...

Very true on the dirt part, but at the same time... people would think that your gunmetal rims are dirty all the time instead of just being that color.

haha, I get more questions if my rims are really dirty, than if they are a different color...
