I like the style of the wheel, but the color is kinda out there IMO.

I think it would look better with a lil more contrast on the wheels. If you kept the polished lip and got rid of the overspray on the tires it would make it look much better.

Too orange. Less overspray more polished lip.

+1. Style looks good but they look orange, not bronze.

Also are you missing a lugnut on the passenger front or is that a locking lug and just shorter?

Mine are bronze in signature. That's like copper piping for plumbing orange. ^_^

It looks better than stock but I could see tweaks making them look good.

EDIT: Maybe you can't see them...lol

If the lip was polished/chrome they would look great in that color. I think the whole wheel in your current orange color is just overwhelming.

Diced pumpkins lol. Yea, you should give it another go. At least you learned something, though.
