These aren't the rims you are talking about, but here is some bronzes on a nice FD I saw at Nopi in St. Louis. The image might be a bit small, but I hope it works. Compliments to whoever owns this car!

These are SE37A's in bronze. I don't recommend them as I had horrible problems with the Volk's finish. Tried to get Volk to replace them but to no avail (didn't try very hard). After about 4 months, they looked like absolute crap with surface haze that would not come off. Used soap and water to wash them. The surface doesn't react well to brake dust either. Other than that, they're great rims. Very light and the bronze/black combo looks amazing. I just wish the finish held up to daily use. And a rim sold as a street rim costing $500+ should hold up, no questions.

Michel, interesting feedback on the Volk SE37As' finish. Was it b/c the SE37As really didn't have a smooth clear-coat finish--rather the SE37A's surface was pebbled, and tough to clean?

They're simply anodized with no coating whatsoever. If I had known, I never would have purchased the rims, no matter how light or good looking they were! They'll always be great for track rubber but they definitely don't have that bling bling for the street or shows.
