Okay, so here is the bronze Nurburgring. It was really hard to get the true bronze to come out in pictures (sorry for crappy photos), but I must say these rims exceeded my expectations. I think they look much better in person. I haven't had time to mount these yet as there are some other issues with my car that I need to take care of, but I'll post pics once I get em on.

*edit...guess i can't post pictures so here are the links.

Nice! Please do post pics once you get them on the car. So if you look at your first picture, the wheels look more bronze-ish. The second picture they look more silver. Which picture is more like real life?

I'm really torn between getting these in bronze or getting the bronze 6ULRs for my laguna blue....

They are definitely more bronze than gun metal. Not even close to gun metal IMO. Here's another picture I took with my phone ( still pretty crappy though). I gotta figure out how to take better pictures. I didn't have to use a flash for it so the bronze came out a little stronger in this one. Again, pictures do not do them justice. For the price I personally don't think you can find a better rim for the S.

why is 63 annoying? It's perfect for those who prefer not to mod their fenders. Get some spacers if you must.

45 could have a nice concave face. it just sucks that 63 is the only option in a 9". 45 would be perfect for those who prefer to mod their fenders.

I would call places. The online selection of rims isn't neccesarily accurate. I called discount tire direct and they said TSW doesn't have any bronze rims, and then I called wheelwarehouse and they said they could get them no problem.

I'd call wheelwarehouse if I were you. The customer service I recieved was really good.

Does anyone know what seat type lug nut is required for the TSWs? Is it 60 degree or something else?
