Default Need wheel input, I'm torn...

I’m so torn right now. I had tried to order a set of 16x7 bronze Rota Slipstreams, but they’re currently out of stock. Now I’m second guessing my color choice. Part of me thinks I should have stuck with black.

Here’s the wagon:


And here's the wheel:


Your thoughts? Should I go w/bronze? Stick w/black? Try different color? Different style?

Damn I hate these decisions...

I thought the 16x7 Slipstreams were out of production and only the 16x8 was currently available. I don't know for sure though, Subydude would be the ultimate authority on this.
Fortunately I already have two sets of 16x7's.

i say bronze or something in silver............gray/gunmetal on silver is overdone imo, it's been a trend for years.

i'd go with sports bronze grids. they're REALLY dark but have an awesome texture. they'd look hot with your wagon and keep the JDM style theme.

they have a lot of color and reflect a lot of light when face up:

but they darken up a lot when they're on the car from most angles.



see what i mean? it will look even darker on the PSM.

I just painted my slips bronze, they look pretty good on my CGM wagon. I'll have to get a picture of it when it stops raining.

I was going to say something more bronze and atleast 6 spoke, it'll look good on a silver wagon.
