i buying new rims asap. i'm leaning towards bronze or silver w/ lip. what do you guys/gals think? these will be fitted to my dark blue/grey car. size is 15x7. mainly used for motorsports, but will have some street use.
here is an example of the silver ones fitted to a car.

The problem with your poll is that people will vote for a colour they like without any consideration of the colour of your car... I voted for matt bronze assuming they are for the grey BA. :p

Matte bronze or Silver with the machined lip. I voted twice as it is a multiple choice poll. :D

I think matte bronze goes well the darker colours :D (and have voted as such).
It is something that I will look into if/when I get my rims repainted :rolleyes:

18hrs into the poll, the choice is quite obvious :p
like people have said above
a lot depends on the colour of the car its going on
i voted black because black goes with lots of colours
but its up to you at the end of the day

wouldn't touch the nickel ones ever. maybe if i was living back in 1998 i would.
i'm surprised peeps have voted black, as it wouldn't go with the blue/grey colour of my car.
bronze was one of my favs, as per my original post.
when i return from the gold coast, i'll do some quick heavy thinking and order the ones i want.

From what I can remember Ryan telling me at the labour day sprints, they are 5.5kg each, so lighter then the MS01's :eek:

All the Honda boys have the 949's and If i had an MX-5 or a Honda id have a set too, really nice sizes and the price is well worth it...
What offset are you getting +36?...
