Man, I know whatcha mean - they are not gun metal but kinda bronze so thus the question about possible match; however I stll think that the "silver" is the way to go. Lemme bring up a year old pic and though it ain't exactly what ya are asking, u get the idea:

Thanks for the photoshop pic. I still cant decide. Part of me thinks it will look good. The other part of me thinks it would look like crap.
R G, thats your car right? Im sure you know what Im talking about, sucks trying to match anything with tan  Im just looking for something "different".

They arent my first choice in color. The problem is your trying to match the wheel color to your paint color. If they were an exact match then it would look fine, but the colors vary. If your car was black, white, red, etc I would say get them. I think they would look better in a gunmetal or aluminum finish.

I agree, a simple silver would look great. However, I thought the 2 colors might compliment each other. Meh, mabye not. I still have one more day to decide

I, on the other hand think they would look okay. A wheel color darker than the color of the car is done all the time. If you get them and don't like it, have them repainted to match the color of the car.
