Bronze Wheels search
So I've been shopping around for a set of wheels. I'm not looking to buy immediately, but I really want a set of bronze wheels for the Z. I'm having trouble finding wheels in that finish that are affordable.
I'm looking in the <2k price range. I want a really dark bronze color. All of the wheels I find aren't offered in the sizes I want. Does anyone have any suggestions of wheels they like? Another option I thought of was to pick up a set of cheap scraped up wheels and getting them powder coated. What are some thoughts?

i'm open to any style. I'm just looking for suggestions to make a decision. I am trying to keep costs down, so i'd like to purchase with desired color.
Anyone selling any cheapies?

powder coating is not that expensive...

Forgestar has a dark bronze finish for their F14 wheel, which I think you might be able to get under $2k for the set.

those forgestars sound like a great option. I love the bronze burst color. Definitely considering.

Those are the F14's in Bronze Burst. Without a doubt best wheel color I have ever personally seen. Trust me if you are looking for a set of bronze wheels for under 2k this is the best you are gonna find. 19x9 +20 front and 19x11 +23 rear. The same set should run you about $1600.00. A fair deal to say the least.

^^ Agreed Bronze Burst is the way to go. I've had the Bronze Burst since mid-last year, and the complements I get are crazy, and I just love to look at the car (PW/Bronze combo). Forgestars have held up well, and I recommend you talk to Eric at Getyourwheels.com, as he/the company did a great job on the purchase/service.

I can't wait to see your car Alchemy. I haven't seen a set of those wheels in person yet. I am also hoping we can smoke weed or eat yogurt. Maybe both.
