SPLN SUX Posted September 3, 2005 Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 ultimately if you like it, you did a pretty good job of doing something a little different than most people do. I personaly am not too fond of it... but what the hell do i know, i drive a Volvo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted September 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2005 yeah that was my aproach. i have yet to see a mustang wiht bronze wheels, especially 98 gt wheels.. i really do hate these wheels, but until i decide to break down and buy the ones i want, i figured id do something with them.

Lustalbert Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Good worksmanship, but not a fan of the bronze. Makes it look like there is a shit ton of brake dust on your wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verse Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 Hmm it's different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 they look good, but IMO don't match the car well, paint the emblems and bumper lettering the same color and I think it would work together well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martindc1 Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 You did a good job with them, but I am undecided on the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 The color seems too dark to me. I'm not a big fan of bronze wheels to begin with, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 i like the bronze wheels, white car look. but i really do hate these wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mudbutt Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 The quality of the work is good but I dont know abut the bronze on white. If you decide to sell them, lmk. I have a dark blue fox that I think they'd look alright on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 i like it I have been thinking about doing the same to the mazda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GSRchick714 Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 they look good, but IMO don't match the car well, paint the emblems and bumper lettering the same color and I think it would work together well. I agree it would look better if you tried to paint some other stuff to match...just small things like emblems. Good paint job but really I'm not a fan of white + bronze. I think bronze goes well with blue like on the STi's but not much else..maybe I just don't like bronze at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bgbdbn Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Definetly different. Doesnt look too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desperado Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I like it, as a suggestion, you might consider sanding the center caps and filling in the horse with body mud, sanding them out smooth and repainting them. I think it would give the rims an entirely different look. Have someone photochop it and see what it would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
