Looking for opinions on what colour wheels to go for, i'm currently looking at some Apex VS-5RS alloys and I'm undecided between a Bronze or perhaps a Polished look.

Help!

I think your existing wheels and finish look great as is!

Unless you are 18 or own a Subaru Impreza, bronze is a terrible choice.
I would say, in order of preference.....silver, silver, then silver and lastly silver. :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Yes me too, I only like silver wheels as they set the car off. I am an old fart though :lol:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

I thought i'd try and be a bit different as I think the 326M wheel is quite common (being OEM and all), but the council has spoken! So I will be keeping them, and spending the money on perhaps some KW coilovers.

Well I'm going to disagree, whilst I do like the look of the original wheels, I think bronze Apex VS-5RS would look awesome :thumbsup:

And ignore Pondrew, he's just old and had all the fun sucked out of him :poke: and I'm biased, well was :lol:
