What's a good OEM bronze color to paint the BBS FI's?

Weight loss continues for better performance at the track.

The car is full black, always used black wheels. Here's pic from last week's testing:



Now I got BBS FI's from a fellow 6speed member in silver color.

Silver's not to my liking. Thinking about painting these black, grey or bronze now.

Black is easy,



Yet, I've driven this one since 2006 with black wheels, and even my daily driver is a black Maserati with black wheels, so should I choose another color to show off little bit the beautiful spokes the FI's have?

For grey, I believe I could just pick Porsche Seal Grey as an easy alternative:



I need to pick an easy German OEM color because I'm in Europe, travelling in different countries for track activities, and in track use these have to be painted again from time to time. No point to choose a beautiful "special matte textured brushed clear tinted finish" people can use in their ordinary rides.

So, What options are for bronze?

At least these are BMW's Pyrite Brown, a lovely color, but quite dark and almost like black in real life pics:

So, could some expert suggests me any OEM "bronze" colors that are available? Any example pictures of any wheels? For me gold is too shiny, so something more bronze or more brown could be an option. Thanks a lot!

I too owned bronze Forgestar F14's like just above, but they weren't as dark I don't think...? More rose gold colored. Race Gold I think it was called. No pics, sorry

My forgestars are not the regular bronze from them.

They are their matte antique bronze. Much better color. I get tons of compliments.
