I think those wheels would look amazing paired with black. I'm not too keen on black/dark wheels myself.

When you install them(if you like them), I wanna see pics!. I think the contrast would look great

Can you elaborate a little on why et45 offset is more appropriate for handling?

It's closer to stock i assume they are wanting to keep it closer to factory spec. +35 should have no negative effect though imo it will provide a little wider track which improves the feel to me.

Somebody here has them, it's not bad but TSW's bronze just looks a little off to me.

I keep flip-flopping, I can't figure out if matte bronze or gunmetal would look better on hot lava...



Talk about first world problems.

When it's time for me to put some new rubber on, I'm going to take these to get powder coated gloss black or gunmetal. The paint on these look nice, but not very durable.
