Who has bronze wheels?
 
Thinking of plasti dipping my 5 spoke carrera wheels bronze. Anyone else have a flat bronze finished wheel on their black box?

Not exactly bronze (not mine either), but I do like the wheel color on black.

Bronze is an excellent and understated choice for dark colored cars imo.

OK, it's more golden, but also great and my favorite: http://986forum.com/forums/411368-post642.html

I know you're looking for wheels, but a friend of mine did his calipers on his 944T in bronze. I liked them. His wife didn't ,so now they're red. Bronze looks good on a black car.

My black 996 has dark bronze wheels courtesy of the PO. I'm not real fond of the look and will be changing them out this spring.

Is that an E24 in the background?

1985 635CSi. Manual, black leather.

It's my weekend cruiser when I want to drive something different.

And you can just see the butt end of my '84 928S in front of it. Sometimes my driveway looks pretty Miami Viceish.

The 911 with the bronze wheels is my inspiration. That is Larry Kosilla who owns AMMO NYC detailing. He now does videos for the /DRIVE channel on youtube. His 911 is great. Thats the look I am going for.

I don't know Larry personally, just corresponded with him on paint correction a few times.

I see. Yeah he is a great source of knowledge for detailing and its that much better that he is a big porsche fan.
