i didnt want to post this in the chat cuz its kind of a cheesy topic but...

i am planning on buying the 5zigen copse wheels for my car but i want to know whether i should buy the silver or bronze...

my 89 coupe is that dark red color so i thought it would look good with both...i just want opinions...thanks

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)

As for the offset its good to find out the stock offset on your wheels and then use THIS site to help you out. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;I need to get spacers later to make it flush with the fender. &nbsp;You could just call up a rim shop and ask their recommendation on what other customers get for their 240s.
