Bronze alloys anyone??

[Spaniarduk]

Does anybody have or know of any e85, e86 or even e89 in Imola red w/ bronze wheels? I need my 224-style wheels refurbish and i saw the following on facebook the other day, which got me interested!
Please feel free to post some pictures of you can.

Not got one but Bronze or variations of, are quite common on red 911’s. The colour combination can work really well.

Each to their own etc. but not for me.

Point and laugh mods if ever I've seen one!

Not mine, but I've always wanted a set of 32's!

Reminds me of the old "John player Special" Lotus F1 car. And I liked that!

I have a set of bronze 108's on my montego blue e86 that I occasionally fit for a change of look. I also have a silver set as the silver wheels make the body shape look "cleaner". If I could only have one set, I would have stuck with silver as, all in all, it looks better. But as always, do what you would prefer as it is your car!

Not my taste but each to their own.

I wouldn't say that any of the alloys in the previous photos are a bronze finish. They look gold to me. Bronze is darker, browner. This OZ alloy has been refinished in bronze

Practically twins except the F1car had silver wheels. There are pictures with the gold wheels though.

I'd agree with that...
and for my taste can only go with either a very dark metallic brown or preferably a metallic antracite. But each to their own

That's the later Lotus 79 'Black Beauty' (Peterson/Andretti era). The earlier Lotus 72 JPS (Fittipaldi/Peterson era) had gold wheels mainly and the much later Lotus 97 (Senna era) had split rims with gold centres

Certain colour combinations work really well..as Patriot66 says very John Player Special..great combo in that case!

I'm not brave enough (see 2 x grey Z4 history), but agree it can work.

Is this a sunny area thing? I quite like it when I see them in bright sunshine overseas or on well lit photos. Not so if I see one on a cold, wet, grey Scottish summers day.

True. McRae-era Subarus and the Clio Williams are seared into my memory - I'm sure it's the same for others!

Back to bronze, I quite fancy one of these -

Nothing wrong with bronze whatever the weather...

Oh wow! I am slowly moving from skepticism to definite love. Red car with bronze / gold alloys definitely rocks!!
Beautiful examples, there!

[ref]BMWZ4MC[/ref], nice alloys. Really subtle.
