Rota Style?

I used to want gunmetal rims, but now i'm noticing that alot of people have them. I was thinking about getting bronze rims to be a little more original. I was thinking of either the Subzero or Battle. Both would be in 18" size. I have a NBP Coupe. So tell me what you guys think...

PS - I know there have been alot of "Would Bronze look good on black" posts, but I just want your opinion on which style you like best.

dont get 18" rota's. they are too light for how big they are and they crack VERY easily. my friend has the subzero in bronze 18 and he has cracked 5 rims now driving normaly. plus, there is only 2 18" subzero's in bronze in the country right now. so if somehting does happen, they are hard to find.

That's why i'll get the Battles lol. But seriously, has anyone else noticed this problem or is this an isolated incident? Maybe that guy just doesn't drive carefully enough for that size rim? I'd like to know if anyone else has had issue becuase then i'll totally have to re-think my choice.

With 18"s for rims, you gotta drive carefully. How much cushion would a tire like 205/40/18 give you. Not a lot defiantely. 18s seem to bling for me, I'm running 16s. To me, thats a great size for a Civic.

But BRONZE all the way.
