Bronze wheels too bling for the UK or just right?

truekumar · 10-28-2020, 10:35 AM

Hey guys,

So im looking at putting on some new rims on my M340i Portimao Blue which already has full M-Performance carbon parts on.

Im really interested in the following bronze wheels that I have noticed on a fellow american member's dravit grey. I like the wheels but not sure if they will look too tacky or too loud on a Portimao Blue? I dont want to give my M340i a Subaru Impreza type look, what do y'all think, would these rims look nice and still classy on a Portimao Blue?

Think bronze wheels work well on loads of cars, as long as they aren't too gold they will look great - those are nice wheels!

I prefer grey/Bronze to black if im honest. At the end of the day if you like them go for it.

Thanks guys. I’m now thinking I may get the same wheels but in a graphite type colour instead, I think the bronze is a little too much!

They will work great and they are far from gold which is much more like a Subaru.

Bronze does seem to be the new black - Cupra and now Audi have used it on their cars. I've only just come round to black so new car coming on black 5 years after everyone else started - but the good thing is they can be powder coated bronze in 5 years when I get used to that!

I look at it this way. It's YOUR car. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. People will have opinions, sure, but at the end of the day, who cares?!

Do what YOU want. Do what YOU like! I happen to LOVE bronze wheels:
