Default Thoughts on this wheel colour combination

Interested in people's thoughts if this Satin Bronze centre with polished hoop would work on my orange 72 C10 Stepside

I love the idea of bronze wheels but I'd have to see it next to your truck. It's too hard for me to visualize.

I was thinking charcoal or transparent smoke as other choices

I think it might, just haven't seen this color scheme on anything bright

Thanks for your thoughts guys.

I think it would look nice. I do prefer black over the bronze, though.

I would, however, ditch or recolor the tonneau cover and repaint the Chevy bowtie emblem and front license plate bronze. As a rule of thumb you don't want too many colors.

The orange is awesome. But then I'm a little biased.

I was thinking of painting my wheels either gold or bronze. My orange is close to yours, but has a gold base and pearl. Black is cool, but been done a few times over.

Black would look better I think, with an orange pinstripe on the rim.

The bronze looks great but would need to have some pieces in the the grille area done in the same bronze to tie it together to make sense.

Love the wheel (and the Orange on your truck).

Good luck.

I totally agree 1000% I say do it. I love brown (which essentially, that's pretty much what the bronze color is) and orange together. Then to top it all off, I love the RB3C wheel the most out of all the Forgeline models. I have a 68 swb C10 that I already have a set of HRE's for and I'm strongly considering this wheel with the center-lock option.
