So true, the gloss black would only need one drive after wash and it would be covered in dusk!

I'd love to see pics in the sun. I feel ya on the June Gloom, I'm up in LA and go down to HB almost every weekend because I race offroad RC cars down at OCRC in HB. Since you're in the area, come check it out, it's actually really fun! Heck, drop by there tomorrow and I can see the wheels in person! It's off of Argosy and Bolsa Chica across from Boeing.

if you want to test it out, try www.autodip.com and select their bronze. I used it on my spyder and I love it.. and of course, it's reversible.

Bronze is one of the hardest finishes to photograph IMO.....

Here are images of the same wheel in different lights, you can see at the very slight twist of the wheel even under studio lighting the color can change by quite a few shades.

These are the same set of 808-Series 20" wheels

That is a much better bronze, would definitely complement my color
