Cool Wheels for a beige Civic

So it seems I'm one of they few who drive a beige civic sedan
2002 Civic LX-G 5spd

I am looking for some new wheels since I need a seperate set for summer. Having though about this for awhile, I have decided on ordering the Enkei RSV wheels in 17" bronze. Tires will be BFG g-Force sport 215/45-17. Also I have fully stock suspension.

Here's a picture of my car with the wheels photoshoped.
Any opinions about the bronze color on my beige car, seeing as there are soo many people driving cars like mine around with big wheels.

Car is driven year round (Canada winter / summer) to school and such.
Tell me what you think...

I wouldn't.... its just not going to look right if the colors are similar but not the same... there will be major clashing. That may be the one collor that I'd have to say the best option for coloir is gunmetal or black.
And keep some steelies around for the winter unless you like ruining rims you paid good money for.

What the hell is wrong with good tires? And why are they better for one type of car vs. another? Thats pretty damn ignorant.

Yeah man.
I wouldn't care what car I have, good tires are needed.
Heck, I wanna buy some Pirelli P-Zeros for my car.

Nothing wrong with having a beige aka Titanium Metallic OR Shoreline Mist (Dependent upon year) around the streets, but I wouldn't go with a bronze wheel. The colors will clash like none other. I know Bronze is the new "it" but you might wanna try hyperblack or go with the always a good choice silver.
