Public Opinion Poll!

Ok, I'm torn on which wheels would look better with my car so I'm turning to you, yes you, to throw in your 2cents on which wheel fits the bill!
First (and my leading choice) are these Matte Bronze Avid.1 AV-06 rims.
And next are these Sport Edition F12 rims.
I really want a six spoke wheel in this style, but am truly torn on what color will look best with my Shadow colored Vibe...
Ok, so now that it's been established that the bronze wheels are the winner, I have another public question:
How would a hot rod (satin/flat black) look if I painted all my plain grey trim (ie bumpers and side skirts) such a color?
I feel the dark grey metallic with flat black bumpers and side skirts would look sweet, thoughts?
Thanks!

I like both wheel styles, so that's a tough decision for me, but as far as color goes, I am not a fan of bronze, black, etc. I prefer good ole silver wheels and I think silver wheels would stand out nicely against your Shadow exterior.

I also prefer plain, old silver wheels to any other color.

Depending on what other upgrades you make to your Vibe, I see no issue with the bronze. Being from snow county, I would check the warranty of both rims, and any info on corrosion tolerance, many times colored rims do funny things when introduced to copious amounts of salt. If you were going to keep the stock rims for winter, makes the choice easier.

Wow thanks for the photoshop Kittt222! These will be only for summer, and the stock wheels will be my winter ones (they're already pitted as it is.)
I love all the input guys!
I think bronze is still winning, even though I do agree with you vibenvy. I have never been a fan of colors other than silver, most of all colored wheels with machined silver lip

BRONZE!!!!!
FTW
& I am not a fan of the 2 tone look but satin black may look nice with your stock paint... Anything is better than that tupperware grey cladding...the satin finsh will protect from more sun fading !
