New wheels came in...factory finish or paint?

[MAG00]

Alright. So new wheels came in and I am now trying to decide to leave them as is or get the face powder coated/painted bronze and the ring will stay black. Here are some misc pics I found for reference and the actual wheels sitting next to my sarge green gladiator. The bronze wheel pics are for reference on the color that I am considering.

If somebody with better photoshop skills than I could color the wheels bronze to get an Idea that would be very helpful and appreciated.

What is ya'lls vote...machined face or bronze?

With some FB help here are two pics that the wheels/tires were photo shopped onto that show machined face and bronze face. This is the best representation of the comparison I have been bale to get. Thoughts?

Just a thought, but maybe bronze with green rings to color match the jeeo. Just maybe....
But I do like the bronze!.

Bronze does look great with green, or with black. But the machined face looks good with all colors. Do you often change vehicles and keep the rims and tires for the next? I usually go with all black so they look fine on my next rig, cause I swap vehicles frequently. Gonna look sweet either way

No, I don't change vehicles often. I drove my '13 JKU until just this past March when I got the Gladiator. I actually still have it. I got way too much into it to let it go. ha ha ha.
All do look good and I originally was going with bronze, but after a hiccup in the process of ordering and no stock of the other wheels I was looking at I decided to go this route and then explore the option of going either way (machined face or painted).
I had a thought of staying with the factory machined face finish since most green jeeps I see have either black or bronze. Just to be different.

Rings in green ....... only?

I feel you said it best, most vehicles have painted wheels and you are starting to see less machined aluminum finish ones.

I would go with stock machined finish. The bronze does look good too.

You can’t go wrong either way here.

Bronze looks better with sarge, but even if you don't it still looks good

They look great as is.

Don’t get me wrong. I have bronze wheels and love them, and they’d look great that way as well. But I think they’ll hold up better unpainted.

Machined looks good and blends with the color. But the bronze will stand out more in my opinion.

I’m new here and opinions are what they are, but I agree with this, this would look pretty bad a$$ to do the bronze with color matched ring.

How about keeping the brushed and doing bronze rings?
