Thinking of these for the M - any thoughts on bronze on silver grey?

Silver or gun metal, of some shade.

Bronze or Gold may look like and old RB5 wannabe. :wink:

I'd go for shadow chrome, but silver would also look good. :thumbsup:

As a fellow Silver Grey roadster owner, here's my opinion:

Maybe not the exact wheel colour in question, but part of me wishes that instead of shadow chrome I went for a shadow bronze. I think it would add a nice touch of colour to the otherwise monochrome Silver Grey. Also note that Silver Grey is a somewhat blue tint of silver, so bronze will contrast nicely with it. The M2 Competition wheels are available in a bronze colour and I reckon it looks great.

Ignore the STI references - the difference between STI gold/bronze and a darker bronze is night and day, especially if the car isn't blue 😂

I think the bronze looks best on a silver car like yours. I would love to get a bronze or gold set (after all I owned an Impreza for 5+ years :rofl: ) to go with my Carbon Black E85M

Silver for me, everything else looks very "modded" and not very OEM.
(Frankly can't see the point with dark wheels but horses for corses)
