Bronze and Gunmetal are beyond "played out" in my opinion.

For every car you see with black wheels, you'd see 2-3 other cars with wheels that are either silver, GM, or bronze.

In addition, your Corolla is grey.
Black wheels with bright colored calipers are the way to go.

black wheels on a gray car? no way... that will look hideous. black wheels are hard to do with any color car IMO. i'd stay with the factory color, they look pretty sharp. just because you see a particular wheel all over the road doesnt mean they dont look good. who cares what everybody else has, you want it to look its best.

btw, nice grill, looks great
