Brooklyn grey with gold/bronze wheels?

Has anyone done this color combo? Thinking of using stock black rims for winter and doing a summer setup like this. Ive seen some porsche 992's in chalk with champagne goldish wheels that look good. Was trying to find some of brooklyn.

I have Brooklyn with copper bronze edelweiss lt3, however they are actually at the powder coater right now getting redone because I was not 100% in love with the color in all lighting conditions. I ordered around 50 swatches from prismatic to pick the new color which is going to be a champagne gold. Should have them back on the car next week.

I also have 827M in frozen black for winter.

If it works for chalk, it is because chalk has green hues in it, which maybe clashes less with gold or bronze. I am not sure it will work as well with blue-tinted brooklyn grey. though I feel like someone here maybe has light gold wheels with brooklyn grey and it looked nice.

That said, I'm more of a color traditionalist, so I think gold/bronze works with white, black, dark grey, red/burgundy, navy blue, and dark green. To me, it clashes with light and mid-blues and silvers, etc.

Do you mind sharing what color powder coating you used? I'm going to change my wheel color of my BC Forged wheels. Really trying to get as close to the 827m wheels but I like your color.

Sure it’s a 2 stage, prismatic polished aluminum base and champagne nuggets transparent top coat. I ordered probably 60 swatches and spent forever picking these out. These are the product codes -

Awesome thanks for the heads up. I just may go with this combo. Any more pics, send them our way. This color has a lot of pop in the sun I assume?

yes very much so, champagne nuggets has some gold sparkle in the powder and being transparent it's very dynamic with lighting. here's a few more pics.

That looks awesome... thanks for the pics and I think I've landed on my color for my Dravit grey. My current color is too dark for car and this color will pick up the gold tone in car.
