Re: hyper black or bronze?
My Toyo's have a rating of 300 and I expect them to last about 20,000 miles.
but it also depends on how you drive, so if you don't abuse them I bet you could get 30,000 miles.

I have the hyper black, and I love them, but I thought they'd be darker. The bronze is pretty kick *** right now... On your red though, I think the hyper black, so that's what I'll vote. Saw your tire discussion... I went with a longer lasting tire on a previous set of rims and I loved the tread life (lasted forever) but they weren't great for holding the road and they SUCKED in the rain because they were a harder compound. I don't know if that's the case for EVERY long life tire, but I imagine for it to last longer it's not going to be gripping the road near so well. Just my 2 cents....good luck...

I have hyper black rims, they perfectly match the color of my Magnessium Metallic Vic. For those that don't know the Color of hyper black well it's not Black or Gunmetal. It's a black chrome color, sort-of like a shiny Light gunmetal color. And looks good and it really shines when your wheels are Clean! 
Ok, my Opinion on bronze rims: I don't like the dark bronze/copper looking rims. Like the color of a dirty penny
I like gold and bright bronze rims. Something that stands out and doesn't look Dull. So, I pick Bronze instead of hyperblack.
Posting pics might help people decide,etc....

After seeing this pic on honda-tech I'm really debating if I want the hyper black, these are gram lights but they are really really similar to what my car would look like.
They just look so good. I've seen some bronze that look good but you have to have the right color of bronze on the right red to make it look really clean. I dunno. What do yall think?

Just lookin' out!
Re: hyper black or bronze?
i think the reason u like the look of the black so much right now is just because of THAT picture and how enhanced and badass it looks...dont get me wrong black on red looks very nice and i love it everytime i see it, but bronze on red is something different. its a whole different level than black on red, anybodys first thoughts of a red car on rims are oo..silver.. or BLACK with a POLISHED LIP! but no one ever thinks of bronze..n when they see it theyre like oh....OHHH...wow......lol just my 2 cents.. bronze all the way..

that is true that most people go with silver or gunmetal or black on a red car... but I've liked the FN01R-c even before I bought my car and even then I couldn't decide whether I liked the hyper black or bronze... even before I knew what color civic I was getting

I just officially ordered my bronze 5zigen FN01R-C's from vividracing.com... Check out the photochop someone did for me to give you an idea of what it will look like
Re: hyper black or bronze?
Damn dude thats a long time to wait for those rims. But once you get em its well worth the wait. I have my Progress springs and all I need is the shocks and camber kits which I will order in a few weeks once I get paid.

i was kinda pissed about the wait but i only had to make a down payment till they get here so im just taking it as time to buy more parts until they get here... also, they have a shipment coming in at the end on june and vividracing says that if there is a set of my wheels in the shipment then they have my name on them... crossing my fingers
