I kinda like these but i don't know if i'll pull the trigger on them, i do want some bronze wheels cause my car is black and these kinda remind me of spectra wheels.

i will be honest with you
you really get what you pay for with rims
now, i am not saying to spend 1k on rims
but if you get really cheap rims, they will bend and scratch super easy

ok i had never heard of them so i wasnt sure
i am not too fond of the style, but if they are what you are lookin for then that is a great price

They look cheap looking, also bronze on silver/gray = throw up

Normally pictures make cheap rims look like expensive rims, but these just look plain cheap.

Eh...

If your car was all black, then maybe I'd go with gold rims. However, with your car being 2-tone, I don't like it. If the upper surfaces were gold instead of silver and the rims matched the gold upper surface, then sure!

I also don't care for the design of those particular rims.

That's just my opinion, though. If you like it, then do it.

Those are kinda of ugly, I don't think you should get them either.

How can a flat bronze rim be ugly? Add a coat of something to make those things shine and I'd rock 'em on my Dark blue

The design of those rims is horrid. Please do NOT get those...

Well, if your new car is all black, then bronze rims (and perhaps a bronze pinstripe?) would look pretty good IMO.

However, I agree with most of the others here -- that particular wheel design is not very nice looking. Perhaps you should wait for a nicer-styled set of bronze painted rims to go on sale? Maybe something styled more like these gram lights?

i don't like the first ones either, but those ones posted by kylemorg are pretty good

^ that was purely a style suggestion. I don't think they make that particular gram lights wheel (if gram lights makes any at all) in the right bolt pattern and offset for Elantras. Plus, Gram Lights are big $$$, which IMO no wheels are worth what they cost.

aren't the gramlights like 650 per rim?

can't go wrong with some Schmidts. they're considered practically indestructable.
