    Question Matt bronze/Gold wheels on a red car?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm a little unsure as to whether these wheels I'm looking to buy will fit my car purely aesthetic?
    Bronze/gold on red, dont know if I´v ever seen that..
    Do not know how to use Photoshop, so I can not "install them" on the car either.
    Solowerks coilovers is coming up aswell.

    So what do you think, will it look good?

    Not mine, but a guy I come across on Instagram every so often has a clean Red B8 on Gold AG M590's
    I think it looks fantastic.

    X2. I think bronze works best with more neutral colors (white, silver, black) instead of red.

    If done right it will look great!

    If your is basically stock with wheels... not so much!

    that red one posted above is a perfect example of doing it right

    We powder coated a set of BLQ's in a matte bronze for a customer's red MkVI GTI - turned out stunning (imo). I need to see if I can get a picture of them mounted on his car.

    I think that bronze wheel would look remarkably classy with your burgundy / wine colored A4.

    ^That's not fair. That wheel would look incredible on any car.

    Bronze would look okay on other colors but, to me, not so much with red.

    Ah, finally found a picture of the above wheels (in my previous post) mounted on the car. Crappy iPhone photo, but it looks really slick in person. The customer picked just the right shade of bronze in my opinion.

    OPs car appears to be Garnet Red [never available in US on B8 IIRC], possibly Volcano Red - very different than US B8 red shades.
    Could affect appearance of his bronze wheels - IMO would look even better.
