Gold or bronze wheels on Dark Verdant Green Emira

Love this combo. Funny how I used to hate gold wheels on cars... and then once I did it, I'm a huge fan now. I have a few different shades of gold/bronze plastidip, which allows me to try the look in person vs photoshop. At some point I'm going to do it on my Atlantis blue... although not sure the yellow center caps and calipers will look.
 
Found some new pictures bronze wheels on Verdant Green Emira

Thoughts??

Definitely prefer the darker bronze more than the lighter gold wheels I've seen. YMMV.
I agree. Gives a bit of a darker more sinister look. Teh brighter gold is a bit too bright against the darkness of the green. I like the bronze better with the yellow caliper too
 
So temped to order these from Aerie.

They look like the same wheels
I still like my black wheels but may have to get a brake pad upgrade before too long to midgait dust

Dark blue and gold work very well together. This is my Camaro. It's inspired by the old Penske/Donahue Sunoco CanAm Camaros from the late 60's, and also the Blue Angels.

Just do it. You know you want to. 😏

(I really love mine)
 
Not knocking, but I feel like black calipers would have been spot on :chefs-kiss:

I strategically chose black calipers when I ordered, knowing I was going for gold or bronze wheels as soon as I took delivery.
I agree about the calipers, but I really did not have the choice buying used. Found the car closest to the spec I wanted and went for it. I guess there is always paint

Taht may be my winter project. use the stock for the first year and order the wheels in the fall. I hear there is quite a lead time to the US from China and the tariffs are no help either.
 
I will definitely be putting gold wheels on my DV (as I do all my cars...it's become a bit of a "thing") and like @ADC spec'd black calipers for that reason...unfortunately I've still yet to find a wheel I truly love. The Aeries are quite nice but a bit too similar to the stock shape for my liking. The hunt continues.
