#100845, "new rims"


          

looking into getting some new rims for my car. have my eyes set on the 5zigen pro gn+. two colors i cant decide upon. the mat bronze, or their new color HMC (whichever that stands for, but if someone could clear that up i'd appreciate it).

Mat Bronze



HMC

Nice wheels. If I had to choose I'd pick the HMC's.

haha well ive been pissed off at the car for the past month. been having mysterious oil leaks but finally found the culprits. so its back to a love relationship with the car, though i must say, i was very tempted to get rid of it. but anyways....

the car is HOK brandywine, which closely resembles the stock purple/maroon paint. the HMC colored rims look to me as a chrome like charcoal? i need to see them in person but from pics alone they look sweet. ive always been told however, that bronze/gold rims would look sex on my car.

The bronze would look good, try tirerack they have a virtual picure of our 2g to see how it would look.

For me I would go with the HMC since my car is white. What site did you find them at and whats the retail on them, also what size they look like 17'.

I vote bronze too. Love the contrast on a black car. Still gives the dark rim look without being all black.

yeah but it's not a black car if you read emoji

I'd go with the HMC only because I've never really been a fan of bronze wheels
