HELP CHOOSING WHEELS COLOR! *Red 86* - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Once had a white car with white oem wheels. Never again. It's like a black car. They look good for 10 minutes after being washed, and then decay into various stages of dirtiness.

Some people are into trashy cars. I'm not one of them

I like the bronze on red, but lately I've grown to love the hyperblack since its almost silver in certain light, but then will just change to black in another light. Also hides brake dust really well.

Out of your two choices, I'd go with bronze. However, I'd pick gunmetal if those wheels are offered in that finish.

soundman98: that's why i like silver/aluminum wheels. That is also color that goes well with different body paint colors, yet is so much more practical, as both generic dust and brake pad dust doesn't change their looks that much and too quickly.

Silver!

Also certain gunmetal colors are like that. Silver wheels are cool and work on pretty much every color car, but they can be kinda boring. I think it depends on the manufacturer as well

gold

Will BRZ: imho they are not so much boring, as simply too common, which might be biggest turn-off for many in that finish. But still imho good choice worth considering due going well with so many car colors (thus probably also easier to sell later on unlike some standing out very specific color that will work only for few), said visual dust resilience, and curbing scratches also less visible. Safe/practical choice.

hey @churchx , if you want to mention someone and get their attention just put the @ symbol in front of their user name. Just a tip.

I'm still driving on winters in July because I can't decide what wheels/tires to buy. It's hopeless.
