Bronze/Gold Wheel Pics?

Hey All,

I am looking for pics of any bronze or gold wheels on a blue MCS (can be IB or HB)... I am considering some Grams Lite 57S' in bronze and I'm not sure how it would look.

Thanks!

I'm guessing you've already tried Tire Rack's wheel selection thing. You can modify the color of the car to match yours and they handle the Gram Lites. If not, it might be worth a try....

Thanks guys, and I have been STARING at the Tirerack configurator picture trying to decide if what I see will match reality...

I like the look of the STi, but I was hoping for some real world pics.. I guess I'll be the first. Right now it looks like 16" Grams Light 57S' with 225/45/R15 BFGoodrich T/A KDW's...

Thoughts?

I love those wheels but you may need a 16" tire on a 16" wheel! j/k

Call around to some local shops and see if they carry them so you can get a test fitting, or at leat pull your car up behind some and get the "perspective" fit.

i think it will look great. I personally like the slightly more subdued bronze look, but go with what you like!
