    It's always black or gunmetal though, go with bronze.. you'll like it, it will look good, and it's different.

    nothing cool
    i voted bronze. i don't think you can go wrong either way. i'm really only voting bronze because i would love to see some custom bronze TT wheels. what color are your center caps going to be? can they color match the bronze wheel? that would be my only concern. don't know too much about powder coating but i doubt plastic center caps can go in the oven

    edit: just saw your pics again and the center caps are black with the bronze wheels. actually looks pretty good. i didn't look close enough the first time.

    agreed, my old car was red and the guy i got it from put aftermarket bronze rims on it and i hated the look the whole time i had the car. I vote bronze with no red!

    The poll swings every day. Now its back to anthracite... I have a few more days to decide but now I feel like I have to go bronze since I am racing Pitchfork!

    I'd say bronze for uniqueness.

    since you have no chrome, go with the bronze, just enough to make your truck stand out that much more.

    I think your truck would look more distinctive with bronze wheels.

    Not sure yet. I am waiting to to see some sample swatches in person. I will post up when I go. Looks like its going to be another week delay. I am waiting on my buddy to bring them down to me from Dallas. He picked them up for me when I found them on craigs.

    Looks like I will def be going bronze though. Thanks for the votes guys!

    I run bronze on my BSP and I think it looks great. That said, if I were getting a set of wheels re-done I wouldn't hesitate to go for something more unique. If you do go bronze, I recommend going with a darker shade.

    Post up some pics! I have been looking around for some of your stuff elsewhere but I would love to see some more angles.

    Ran out of money for a bit due to some med bills... Guess that's what I get for playing rough. About ready to pick up where I left off just need some more motivation.

    Also wonder if these wheels are going to give my truck a good stance. I have some wheel spacers but I dont know.

    Dark Bronze..you'll be the only one with 'em.

    Just curious, what are differences between the original and replica wheels?

    What haven’t I changed?
    Threads on this forum have mentioned that these wheels have 4.5" backspacing and will stick out from the fenders a little bit.

    I think the replica wheels only apply to the gunmetal color because the original anthracite wheels are extremely hard to find or get. So for the replica wheels, they start with the more common silver version, then strip it and powdercoat gunmetal on them to get an appearance close to the original look.

    Don't know what stance you are looking for but I am happy with mine:
