Machined finish looks good when spinning while making your truck looks faster too 😂

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?

Powder coat the new wheels clear, protects them and makes them much easier to keep clean.

How about keeping the brushed and doing bronze rings?

I found the opposite for an example, but I think it would look good with the bronze rings and brushed silver like you said.

I love gold or bronze wheels.

Here are the wheels I refinished for my Colorado
