    You've got the back and silver thing going on already, I actually like bronze typically, but for this application, black and silver wheel are my vote.

    Guardians! I love the TRD "beadlock" wheels but hate the price, these are a nice alternative.

    Like the style of the guardian more but not bronze, maybe all black or black with silver lip.

    If TRD beadlock was made also in 17'', it would be awesome!!

    Neither - black Guardians. If they made black Guardians with a machined lip, I'd be all over those bad boys.

    Check out my build thread (Beginning of Money Pit)
    I like the bronze, They really make you wheels "pop"
    but if you could get them in sliver powdercoat to match they would be sexier
