TSW Nurburgring

Trying to decide on the color. The car is an Asphalt but I'm stuck between the matte bronze or the gunmetal. Tried searching but couldn't find any pics of the matte gunmetal on an Asphalt. Anyone have a shot of them?

Try TSW web site I'm pretty sure they have a picture of an FR-S in Asphalt.

Thanks, I saw this one already, which has me leaning for bronze, but still want to see the matte gunmetal before making the final decision.

I have Asphalt and have the hardest time deciding on a color for rims, but after seeing some pictures, bronze seem to be a sexy color with it.

I've seen both up-close (and actually run the bronze ones)...

The 'Gunmetal' ones look closer to a gray color. It works great on the Whiteout/SWP cars but I don't know how well it will look on DGM.

If we get some time this weekend, maybe @postbreak and myself can swap a couple wheels to give you an idea of what gunmetal will look like on DGM.

Shoot me a PM on Friday or Saturday to remind me.

I wish TSW would just make this wheel in silver (ala RCEs set of BBS wheels).
