I had bronze wheels on my silver SS/SC and loved it, but my wife loves the silver wheels on the SS/TC. I am still trying to convince her. I will see what she says about this.

There was someone here in Canada who had copper painted stock wheels on his black SS/SC. I will try to find pics.

He's an awesome photographer/photoshopper also!

Ummm not too sure what it is.. Some sort of DSLR? They are called HDR photos, so its actually a combination of 3 pictures taken from a tripod.. 1 over exposed, 1 under exposed and 1 proper essentially. They are then pretty much put together to form 1 picture and then touched up a bit?

I dropped off my wheels at the shop this morning. I will be picking up my wheels probably next weekend. I can't wait to see them.

I like the flat black car, but I'm not a fan of those wheels. They are too busy looking.
