i didnt want to post this in the chat cuz its kind of a cheesy topic but...

i am planning on buying the 5zigen copse wheels for my car but i want to know whether i should buy the silver or bronze...

my 89 coupe is that dark red color so i thought it would look good with both...i just want opinions...thanks

Bronze would look pretty cool if it's a dark red.  I'd go with bronze set just to be a little different.  I have 17" bronze 5zr copses on my black s14.. but the offset is high at +40. With silver, you can't really go wrong, but it's kinda plain.  Oh yeah, try and get the 2 piece design because they have more options on the offset (bad thing is, well not necessarily bad, but they only come in 18s, but i think those would look pretty sweet)

As for the offset its good to find out the stock offset on your wheels and then use THIS site to help you out.  There are two links on that page that can help you with calculations.

I dunno if that's the correct sizing with offsets, but my offset is definitely set for an FWD Honda.  I need to get spacers later to make it flush with the fender.  You could just call up a rim shop and ask their recommendation on what other customers get for their 240s.
