ok i got a set of integra meshes and i am trying to decide wheather to polish them = shit load of work or should i paint them bronze with polished lip. The wheels were in bad shape when i got them so i sand blasted two of them and sanded them down but to take the steps to polish is gonna suck however the other two rims are alraedy painted bronze and i get alot of mixed reviews people either ove em of absolutely hate em my car is camellia red pearl ( purple ) i think the broze goes good with the car but i may be crazy so what do you guys think ?? ill get pics up asap i just dont have any yet

i think anything darker than polished or stock would be to dark for the color you described.. how do look after you sandblasted them

Purple and Bronze are sexy. However I think Webs should only be polished. Especially, on a Purple Coupe they look Sick polished!

Below is a pic of my old purple coupe slammed on webs, Only way to Roll with Webs IMO.

anodized purple would be sick but i get made fun of enough for driving a purple car let alone one with purple rims ha ha ha . that coupe looked sooo good with just polished meshes but after i sandblasted them they are a dull finish so it would take alot of elbow grease to get them polished again

polished with the inner portions painted gunmetal or black, but leave the face polished.

I would do that too :thumb:
Polished needs a contrasting paint for the inset areas of the rim. the oem silver color is too close to the polished finish.
