Default Bronze wheels on silver

Anyone have any pics of an arctic silver 997 with bronze metallic wheels or even gold? For that matter, any pics of anything close? Thinking about going that route for my arctic silver 997.1. Thoughts on the combo? Thanks!

i have artic silver, bronze would look decent but not lux.. gold wouldnt look lux either but instead "tuner" ish..i think go silvers or shades of silver (down to black) but not shades of gold.

For an arctic silver car I would think that bronze or any other color might be just too distracting. Recall the days of the 1980s with the gold BBS wheels? They had a limited style life, and could only work with a FEW exterior colors. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own taste!

Sorry, no...Then, again my wife does wonder why I might wear a blue sock on the right and a black on the left foot and not tell the difference.

I think that look (gold) is better suited for some of the 80's p-cars.

Ferrari offers this option on the 430 Scuderia & 16M-- although if ordered with the Scuderia stripe it is bearable, the gold/bronze wheel option buy itself ?let's just say it's not particularly popular.
