Redoing my wheels

What's up guys! So I'm thinking about getting my wheels redone. But not to sure on how it will look, any inputs will be much appreciated. I'm think about doing a matte bronze face with a bronze anodized lip. The wheels are hre an my car is a white e63 w211. Sorry for the horrible phone pic the wheels are the ones on the wall. O an the wheels on the floor are for sale.

Not sure if I'll be a fan of the bronze barrels.

bronze face, maybe. colored lips never looks good imo.

i just did my SSR's in double dark tint brushed aluminum with a matte clear coat with polished lips. and my HRE's are done brushed aluminum with a gloss clear coat with chrome lips. can't go wrong with a classic finish like that.

i'd just redo the finish you currently have. take a look at heissrod's white 211..gunmetal finish against white looks so clean.

My car has a carbon fiber front lip, carbon fiber diffuser, carbon fiber trunk spoiler an all my badges are matte black. With that being said I really want my car to stand out but I also want it to look tastefully modded. Also want to powder coat my calipers this color.

This is a better shot of the caliper. What is the name of that color?

The caliper color almost looks like a Lambo orange.

Click the 2 links in my sig. One set of pics is before I installed the lip and H/E.

If you want to go bronze face, I'd go with a brushed aluminum barrel. I'm not a huge fan of chrome and wish my barrels were brushed.

I think your finish looks good as is. But your username looks too much like "Prius". Scares me everytime!
