Ha ha yeah I caved in and went for coilovers, bc's. They actually ride very nice, glad I didn't muck around with springs. I always wanted bronze wheels but the gunmetal is looking good!
My standard response to wheel coloring choices is to paint one side of the car color A and the other side, color B. I'll even do it myself - one day -... I reckon gunmetal could be tintable to a bronze-ish color, like they lay pearlescents on some duco's, they're really close already.
