    Yeah, seems to look pretty good, I hope he posts some more photos in the daylight..

    Looks like bronze is gaining some steam, might have to give this a few more days of voting..

    IMO, bronze. FWIW, black on black is so common. You should do something that not everyone else has, I voted bronze.

    honestly around my small town i get alot of crap for having bronze wheels. they all said i should have gone black...while i have nothing bad to say at all about black wheels i just felt that bronze made my truck stand out that much more. its not every day you see a 4x4 of any kind with bronze wheels..it just seems to work i guess lol.
