My car's BRM also so I went with graphite but I'm really like the bronze color I think it would look great on a blue ray Camaro.

Guess they don’t like to clean them. To each their own. My ride is never “filthy”. In your defense, you did say “nearly every”. 😉

To each his own, but I do not like black rims in about 99% of automobiles I see.

Agreed man. It really updates the car overall.

Night and day. Looks awesome, but I am also partial to gray.

There's always the option of chrome and paint.

I love the graphite color on Blue Ray but I think anything other than black will look good.

I changed from all the chrome I had on my IBM to all Black Matte and removed the stripes.

I love your bronze wheels. They look perfect. I have a black and yellow interior that would clash or I would have bronze or gold, but my wheels are polished aluminum (for now).

Yes, I am digging the bronze too. Rotiform bronze 2 piece. I agree that now black wheels are everywhere. Now that Nissan is offering it as a option "Midnight Edition" I think its time to find a new wheel scheme.

I was never a fan of the Black on Black on Black but a set of Mrr228s in gloss black kinda fell into my lap for such a good price I scooped them up. After throwing them on the car, I love the look. Down the line I may go bronze but for now, im digging the all black look. I do have some small touches of red to break up all the black tho.

as soon as i did my black rims and painted my calipers, i changed out the brake pads to the ceramic and carbon pads so i have little to no brake dust on my calipers and rims. so that helps cut down the dirt and grime on dark rims.

Not a fan of all black wheels and I think all chrome is a bit much. Polished aluminum would be my preference. I went middle of the road with the trusty Athracite Torq Thrust.

Very nice! Love that clean look.

I wasn't sure about black wheels myself but i gave it a go and i think they look great. Here are some before and after pics.
Stock wheels.
