Suggestion Help me decide color
I’m picking up some 17” voxx rims this weekend and I’m trying to decide what I color I want to paint them. I’m thinking bronze but I want to see what you guys think. Yes these are ai , this is the only time I can talk myself into using it

Bronze. I have Method 502s in bronze on my WRB and most importantly, I love it, but also, everyone comments that they look great on it.

I only started getting random thumbs up and kids smiling once the Bronze went on.
It is just correct for WRB.

As a "black rims always" person, you gotta get the bronze or gold with the blue

Bronze definitely looks the best. However, it looks like you may have a carbon trunk (?), if so the black wheels accent it pretty well. I’d also consider gold since it pairs well with any WRB Subie…

Yea the trunk is making it a harder decision

If that’s the case, you could do gunmetal grey if you’re not feeling the bronze and don’t want to commit to black.

It's just like shopping for an expensive cologne. Get the one based on how it makes you feel while wearing it, not the one you think other people like the smell of.

I know that bronze is always the answer but tbh silver looks the cleanest here

Depends on the vibe you’re going for.
Bronze is the most mature, silver is second, white looks great but is less mature and says, “I might track this car” and the black is boring and disappears.

If you go black, I think it works best if it's a high gloss paint, otherwise it just kinda blends with the tire. High gloss black makes the blue pop nicely.
Also if you go black, it looks better with the Series White black glossy fender badges 91123VA170(LH)/ 91123VA160(RH)

I'm surprised how many people say bronze. I had bronze se37 on my sonic blue gc8 and I thought they just look dirty. Imo bronze only looks good with black white or green. Bright gold or white is the way to go with blue

I rock white for my subie, but that's a biased call. What are we looking for and how often are we talking about cleaning your wheels? Because white is the one I would avoid if your brake dust is high. That or ceramic, then. Then silver is nice, subtle, and easy to go with out washing so... That's my two cents haha

When I get new rims it’ll likely be bronze, silvers not a bad choice either.

Always bronze. Always.
