anyone have bronze rpf1's?
 
I am looking at getting a set and was wondering if anyone had a good picture of them on the car. I liked the look of the bronze xxr527 so I am hoping it will be similar. if it was on WRB that would be even better.

As far as I know they don't come in bronze, only gold.

Real bronze ones are hard to come by unless you're lucky or want to wait. Enkei only sells them if someone orders a certain quantity all together (10 sets + I believe).

I bought off the shelf ones (happened to be gold) and had them powder coated, came out to less money and way less waiting. They look less brown in person, just the lighting in this shot.

Would you mind sharing your wheel/tire size?

17x8 +45 with 225/45/17 Dunlop Z2's. Near flush up front, could use about 10mm out back at stock ride height and camber.

OAKOS has bronze rpf 17x9 +35s for sale. They just did a group buy and have leftovers. I picked up a set of gunmetal.

I was debating the bronze vs gunmetal myself and have been actively hunting for pictures of bronze rpf1's on a car - very hard to find because most pictures are of people that have powder coated their rpf1's with bronze paint. To me the bronze looks brown/rusty under lower light conditions and I know I wouldn't be happy with that. So in the end I went with gunmetal because it stands out more.

Another pic of bronze rpf1's but alas not on a FRS/BRZ:

What color is your car? I wanted bronze so bad but couldn't get it in aus for anything less than double regular price. Ended up getting silver, still looks awesome.

i have a set of 17x8's, will put up a picture when I get around to mounting tires.

I wanted bronze in the worst way for my ultramarine, but short of trolling nasioc for them used... they were not to be had. I settled for gold and they really grew on me. They are not as bright in person as they are in pictures and i get a ton of compliments on them.
