Super speed flow Bronze on my San Marino blue
I bought the Michelin Alpin 5 snow tires from Cotsco for around $1150 after discount, and the wheels themselves weren't too bad. All in maybe $2800 with TPMS.
What do you guys think of the bronze finish? I was hoping it would pop a bit more, but I like it better than the black, and they didn't have gunmetal in this size. I bought the FlowForm RF05RR wheels through a third party vender called "Wheel Whiz" or "Wheel Supreme" (they have both Canadian and USA divisions I think), and their customer service was excellent after they had initially shipped the wrong color, they shipped the correct ones at their expense. https://www.super-speed.ca/flowform-rf05rr

I really like the bronze on blue. Did you go with 19/20 or all 19? Square setup?

I went with 19 all around since it's a winter setup. I don't think they had 20's available, at least in the bronze.

That's good to hear.
From what I've read 1-3mm is the recommended distance, which sounds tiny to me. I will have to double check it in the daytime.

It seems like it's just the picture. I can get the tip of my index finger between the caliper and rim, so it's a decent gap.

I like bronze over (gloss or satin) black. I agree, it doesn't 'pop' as much as an M2 CS, M5 CS, or M4 GTS rim but hey -- it's winter. At least they'll be fairly easy to clean. If you have reason to dismount/remount tires on those rims, however, try using black wheel weights next time (plethora of sources on Amazon or eBay). They blend right in ...

I wonder if the guys at costco would look at me funny if I insist on black wheel weights.

Sadly those bronze wheels are too dark in order for them to really pop. The wheel design is nice however. I have the same problem with my BC Forged bronze. I am not happy with the dull bronze and will either have them powder coated or replace them.
