Smile CE28N Flat black vs. Bronze

I'm in a position I've never been before. I can't decide between two wheels. Usually this hasn't been a problem for me but now I've got a great car with mods I really like but can't seem to be able to make up my min. I have to find wheels that I absolutly adore because if I don't then I'm stuck with them forever (under 10 S2K owners in my country so reselling is not an option). At first I had about 20 different wheel options but now I've narrowed it down to two. It's like I need someone to give me a push in the right direction.

Pros & cons:

Bronze Pros: Looks awesome on black cars, little worries about brake dust showing and Spoon had them on their S2K

Bronze Cons: Starting get bit old in my own opinon - (that's heavy on my pros/cons scale.)

Black Pros: Look very good on almost any car. no worries about brake dust showing or dirt, haven't seen any berlina cars with these wheels, are flat black instead of glossy.

Black Cons: Steel wheels?

I call on you fellow S2K lovers to help me make a decision. Please help!

ide go bronze just because i dont like the look of all black wheels on black cars unless they have a polished lip because they make the tires look REALLY dirty, almost brown, so unless ur gonna keep a constant fresh layer of tire shine on there, the tires are gonna look horrible IMO

Tough call. If you painted your calipers red then black would be my choice. If they're black or unpainted then the bronze.

You can't go wrong with either.

Yeah you would think that but those flat black ones look really good. Tis a shame I can only look at these wheels on the internet. I would love to see them with my bare eyes.

I'm not going to paint the calipers because I've got Spoon calipers coming in January So thats an issue aswell. Do the black ones fit the Spoon blue calipers?

Those look awesome but if i'd had to go for the polished lip I would definetly go for bronze or gold.

I had flat black on my last black car and it looked kinda cheap. Like some wannabe street racer. Black and bronze is classic..
