Ugh, the blue would be way more sensitive to the shade of the bronze. Some would look good and some would probably have too much of a Subaru vibe
White or black car can get away with any shade of wheels.

Yeah that's what is difficult. I was looking at a very dark full bronze actually. It makes it even more difficult now that I wrapped my roof gloss black. May just play it safe and do a dark grey powdercoat.

As much as I don't like Nardo grey on everything I actually like it on wheels. Or even a touch lighter non metallic grey wheels with glossy clear coat just look sexy.

It's been quite the process. Because of quality issues I had to get them redone and with the east coast weather and the road salt and covid it's been a complete mess. I finally have them on the car but haven't been able to do a real shoot. They're officially "dark matte bronze" but I like to call the color "sunken treasure". No shoot has been done yet but I do have some shitty iPhone pics:

I'm actually looking to powder coat my OEM 437m wheels to something close to the frozen gold oem bmw wheels.

Closest I can find is "Performance Gold" by prismatic.

These look great!

Can't wait to see more pics.

I'm almost 5 years into my og m2 and am looking to change out the wheels. Also thought of powder coating but I'm tempted to also change the wheel design. Something like the 763's but without the cost of the 763's lol.

Never considered bronze family but have to say, your shade looks perfect!

Just realized you also painted your calipers. Looks good. Maybe the blue calipers is why I've always dismissed bronze wheels....hmmm

One of the first changes I made to the car. Unless you have an LBB car I really don't dig the blue calipers.

I'm honestly not sure which color I ended up with. I originally asked for flat bronze:

But after I had them redone they seem to have come out a little darker like burnt, dark, or anodized:

To be honest it looks bad on LBB too. The blues are not the same and they sort of clash.
