Nope. Don`t like....

Your car would look nice with gunmetal grey coated wheels.

I think it could look OK.

There's an STI PPP Scooby that parks near where I work that comes in a similar black paint/bronze wheels combo, and that looks quite nice.

I think it would look really cool. I've seen quite a few pics of the Black S with the Volks and MF10s in bronze. Great combo.

I want to get some Volks in bronze but can't afford to splash out any more - The Amuse has done it for this year!

if the wheels are in good condition I would not bother...but if you want to refurb then a new look is worth the risk...have a look at the mugen wheels..dull gold..they look fine with the Honda...but spokes are different so not quite the same effect. Gioire? are they bronze?

do you mean badges on the car or the wheels..leave the badges alone on the car.

Um, votes are pretty tight, any people any good with photochopping, that could assist me using the above?

Kobe, yes I do mean the Honda badges on the car, my thoughts are that the silver may make the gold wheels look odd.......and yes my wheels are wreaked, a combination of previous keeper, corrosion and crap tyre fitters

And another thing, anyone who voted that the car would look better than Cameron Diaz coated in treacle clearly needs to reconsider their tastes in life!
