So i've been piddling around with trying to color match my weird *** ****ing color on my Elantra in NFS Pro Srteet. I've been wondering how my wheels would look in bronze with my car.
My car and rims, Enkei NT03

My best attempt at color match in Pro Street using a Focus ST (since hatch design is smiliar) with Enkei NT03 M (M designation is for 2 gen of the rim model vs mine being first gen)

I think regular alloy wheel color looks best for your color car actually. That's not a bad thing though.
I agree.. Whenever I see the bronze/goldish wheels I think..
"Look at that guy, he really wanted a WRX STi but couldn't afford it. So he got the wheels and that was just as good."
Of course, I'm biased. I like satin grey wheels exclusively. Like these are pretty nice, but they'd need to be 17" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/15-6-5-Enkei-RS-6-Wheels-Rim-4-114-4x114-3-4x4-5-Silver_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1 247QQcategoryZ43955QQihZ006QQitemZ160223490363QQrd Z1QQsspagenameZWD1V
hate painted wheels and chrome are the worst; absolute biatch to keep looking nice.

I like bronze rims. Thats whats on my car and I think your car would look great with bronze rims. Gold would look cool too.

you know what would be cool if you got black all black rims with the lip the same color as your car ... thatd be pretty different

That would be different and could be a possibility depending on price.
These rims would become my summer/meet/show rims while some Spectra 16s

Would be my regular all-season set

hmmm.. never seen a green car with bronze rims, but bronze rims look good in alot of cars. I love bronze rims and thats what i too have, next set of rims i get will also be bronze.
I say you need a photoshop here, so there.

Gold would be too bright.

That color is much nicer than the normal bronze you see. It's just light enough that it's not an eyesore.
Good choice.

I agree on that one being nice. The standard bronze just seems off on your car in the above chop.
