Bronze would look pretty cool if it's a dark red. I'd go with bronze set just to be a little different. I have 17" bronze 5zr copses on my black s14.. but the offset is high at +40. With silver, you can't really go wrong, but it's kinda plain. Oh yeah, try and get the 2 piece design because they have more options on the offset (bad thing is, well not necessarily bad, but they only come in 18s, but i think those would look pretty sweet)
Bronze all the way <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> they would look so hot on a dark red coupe <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

As for the offset its good to find out the stock offset on your wheels and then use THIS (http://www.311s.org/tech/wheels/offset.html) site to help you out. There are two links on that page that can help you with calculations.

I dunno if that's the correct sizing with offsets, but my offset is definitely set for an FWD Honda. I need to get spacers later to make it flush with the fender. You could just call up a rim shop and ask their recommendation on what other customers get for their 240s.
