is anyone rocking broze rims on an xa. i have an indigo ink color. would that look right or should i stick with silver or hyperblack. post pics!!!!!!!!!

 

there are a couple of people with bronze rims, and imo they look really good. its up to you because both bronze and silver wheels look good on IIP.

 

Mine aren't really bronze. They are more gold. I had considered hyper black or gun metal also, but I'm glad I went with the gold.

 

bronze would probably look best and help set it apart some. you have to figure out which finish of bronze you want though cause there a few different ones.

 

if I can find a day where there is sun, I could fish up one of my old Volk TE37 bronze wheels that I used for autocross with my MR2, and stand it next to my IIP xA and take a photo. it'll look weird, but will hopefully show the color comparison.

 

I posted earlier with a couple more pics of the Falken Hanabi's on my blue xA. Here's one:



Bronze is nice, because it really doesn't show dirt/brake dust.

 

The sun was out this morning, so here's those weird pics I was talking about. xAs look a little odd with tires sticking out this far, I think (that's a Bronze Volk TE37 17x9 w/ 245/40r17 Hoosier A3S03)

the blue/bronze combo reminds me of the World Rally Subaru WRXs.

The rear is my OZ Ultraleggera in Matte Graphite Silver - it's a pretty darkish grey. Personally I prefer darker colored wheels on a dark colored car because silver wheels produce too much contrast.





ASC you need to photoshop your photo to bring up the brightness, to make the color come out.

Good luck with your decision making, Desnudate883

 

It was a dark and stormy day...

Grant, I'll make some brightness/contrast/mask changes to enhance the colors a bit. I actually prefer the 'real' look (and in this case, also 'ominous'), as too many pictures in this world look like the flash is always on.

 

And that's a good philosophy for photography too But still, that particular photo feels a bit underexposed - it makes me feel like I'm wearing sunglasses on an overcast day. It's tricky getting the balance right. (and I'm certainly no expert).

 

Those look almost like regular slicks. hahaha. That would be interesting.
