    BRONZE wheels on a Silver NB! WideOpen vs FlatOut

    Hey, guys. First post here.. I'm liking it better over here, probably because of the lack of trolls and asses. Anyway, next week I'll be ordering wheels for my silver NB and I'm absolutely torn between this choice...
    My car is on coilovers

    Konig FlatOut.. I haven't found a pic of these on a silver NB



    Konig WideOpen

    Either one would look good, but I vote for the WideOpen just because they remind me of RPF1's.

    edit: here's an NB on silver flatouts that someone could photoshop bronze. I'm too lazy right now.

    Sorry. I'm asking which of these two wheels would look better on a silver NB.

    Thanks. I was leaning towards the WideOpens for the past week or so but then I look at the FlatOuts.. I really like how the WideOpens only has the 4x100 pattern, also.

    I think the Blue Flatouts would looks great on a silver NB-the bronze ones I'm not sure. I have Konig Lightspeeds and the bronze is very dark-almost a dark brown.

    Ahh, I see now. I far prefer the Konigs then. IMO a much better looking wheel overall. Im probably letting my age show here but I couldnt tolerate blue wheels on any car though as someone suggested. To me, wheels are either silver, polished, black or a combination of the 3. Bronze I can just tolerate and in some applications they look pretty good, but thats about as far from convention I can go as theyre still within the boundaries of acceptable precedent. Any actual "color" doesnt belong on wheels, lug nuts, nothing. To be clear, this is of course just my opinion. To be clearer, everyone should always go by my opinion because my taste is impeccable in all things

    A user by the name of 'scsi' on CR was running them for a while.

    Something about ravs and forged on the flatout turns me off

    I like the polished flat out ones but I also like the wide open style. Either one will be a good choice. Which has a better price? Maybe that can help solve this problem.

    I'm in the same boat, I wish the wideopen came in a full polish. The flatouts are a few bucks cheaper per wheel tho.

    Well maybe weight can help make a decision also....I'll be looking at new wheels at the end of the year when I put the car down. So I need to make a decision.

    Same here. And how it has both lug patterns. Four only, like the WideOpens, seemsmore proper and clean.

    Thiss. Fully polished FlatOuts would look very very good. But, I've made a decision, guys.. I'm going with the Bronze WideOpens. They just look very good in my opinion and if worse comes to worst I'll trade them or sell them after I wear out the tires..

    You couldn't go wrong with either choice man. I'm glad that you came up to a decision. I'm still debating.
