I'd need to see a Moonstone Vibe to know if bronze would look good or not.I'd chose the gloss black. (if you want flat black, just let them get dirty - but you can't shine up flat black if you decide you like it glossy).

Flat black with the blue type, paying homage to the old vibe

What you are calling flat black, Tenzo calls charcoal gray, and they look it in pictures too. Now I love the graphite gray wheels I have on my Mazda. They are very easy to keep clean and do not show brake dust until it's wayyyy too late , but I think a med/graphite/charcoal gray, or any gray is likely to clash w/Moonstone, Cole. It would be like trying to get two close, but different shades of red to work well together.The bronze will need regular attention and to my mind's eye, will clash on Moonstone as well... Their version of bronze anyway. So.... gloss black w/red it is!!

Gloss Black w/Red I like the ones that have the logo or writing around it, it'll set em off from every other set of rims. Like they're more official and not generic.When people think of nice rims or expensive rims....yours will come to mindOr that's my opinion anyways
