I feel like they do this to better match the target vehicle colors at the time (gotta look good in the advertisements). I think the bronze blast will be a good match for the D4S paint. I do prefer the texture of the OG style though. I have a D4S 86 also with the last set of OG bronze TE's from a System Motorsports custom order. I am glad I got them when I did. They are concave like the bronze blast wheel, not flat like the OG wheel shown in the pic. You know, looking at your build plans, I have similar parts. I even have the same black L32 lugs as in your plan. Lol. We must have similar taste. I guess I can tell you with 100% certainty your car is going to look great, but I am still looking forward to seeing to progress.

Yeah, I think I am going to stick with the Blast Bronze. I actually got these from System Motorsports, too. When I got the car last year I had actually planned on getting a set of OG Bronze, but when I tried to get a set I found out it was too late. System told me they stopped making them a few months earlier.
I don't like the new TE37 variants with the engraved Volk logos and I was dead set on the black/bronze combo with TE37s. I always wanted a set of bronze TE37s since I was reading issues of Sport Compact Car way back in high school. So when I found out System was getting a batch of custom Blast Bronze TE37SLs I jumped at the chance. The design of the SL is the closest to the OG you can get now and they are lighter and stiffer. They aren't quite as close to the OG bronze as I had hoped, but I think they will still look really good.
I ordered some black TE37 OG stickers to put on them instead of the SL sticker. Those and the black L32s are on the way from Nengun right now but they are taking forever to ship.
Do you have a build thread somewhere? I checked your profile but didn't find anything. I would love to see some pics of your car.
