Good god.... that is perfect looking. I feel like speed bumps would be your worst enemy but hell that looks amazing. If anyone else wants to chop some images of this color you would be my best friend and I will send any spare Karma your way!

I have a feeling the +35 will have a flatter face, while the +45 will have more convex shaped spokes.

I just need to wait until I have the car and do the measurements based off the stock wheel to really know. :happy0180:

Does anyone know how much the stock wheel are sunk in from the fender?

EDIT: Good thing about 17x8 +35 is that the backspacing is about the same for suspension clearance.

have you seen closeups of Galaxy Blue or Crystal Black? They have a lot of flake in em.

as far as the rim color, out of what you suggested, probably Bronze.

though I'm a crazy mofo and I'd say purple.

No that is the problem there have not been any closeups of these colors while they are clean. Ya I think bronze would be a good way to go. That is what I have on the miata with but a little more gold and it looks sharp.

i don't know what it is, but i can picture bronze wheels on almost any exterior color BUT the dark grey... probably since it's less common compared to other colors like white/black/red that rock bronze...

not enough contrast and it looks a bit odd. IMO. would be interesting to find a pic of the said combo.
