jaja, lol.
I think Roush rims in dark bronze would look cool, possibly.
Deep dish I don't think would work on this car, it would remind me of a Trans Am too much.
The only problem is that you'd have to paint the Roush rims, as they only come in Chrome or dark black.

Not to double post, but have you thought of just painting your Brembo rims you have right now?
Those rims are styled after the F430 Scuderia, and actually they came with optional bronze/gold rims....
F430 Scuderia = Best Ferrari Ever
I am down for anything that brings Mustang's and Scud's together.

No wonder it looks hot.Secondly, thank you for photoshopping that. I have no photoshopping skills. LOL. But I tell you what.... seeing my OEM brembo rims in gold looks HOT. I think I actually love this combo. Both the Kona paint and rims pop.
I need more rim and less tire Hey Al, your pics aren't working that you attached? Can you please reattach?

The Brembo wheels are also similar to Porsche 911 GT3/GT2 wheels.
Take a look at Forgestar wheels. They have the option to get a variety of colors. A set of CF10s in bronze or gold might be a good choice for you.

On the topic of the painted Brembo rims...now the problem is to find a TRUSTWORTHY place that will paint (or powdercoat?) the stock rims. I worry that the re-paint quality will not be as good? Plus, would there be a higher chance of flaking off? I heard powdercoating is a good alternative.
What are your guys thoughts on either solution? and the approximate cost of each?

Steve, I worry these are very pricey?

The place my old shop used would powdercoat a set of wheels in standard, semi gloss non metallic colors for $300. That includes the acid bath and everything. Just to give you a reference point...

It will not be very hard for you to find someone to powerboat your rims.
Try this on for size during your free time, to see if you really want gold brembo rims.

Bringing this thread back to life, because I once again saw a car with bronze rims today, and made me think of how good that would look on my car. See pics above. However I am saving for my roush sc... So funds must go to that instead.
