I can't decide on my new wheels' finish!! My car is midnight blue. I want bronze-ish wheels. But which bronze...


Pics are deceiving some times

The pics go

Matte, gloss, textured

3rd, the gloss is a bit flashy for my taste.

Textured or gloss (in that order), but not matte - at least not that matte.

I am also Midnight Blue and am having trouble deciding on color for an upcoming wheel purchase.

Out of your choices I would go with the gloss bronze which is actually one of the colors I am deciding between.

This is dumb. I keep flipping through pics and changing my mind.

Including looking at the antique bronze type finishes.

First world problems, right?
