Default Method Race Wheels Roost Bronze and Caribou

I have desperately been trying to find a set of wheels that will match the caribou paint. I am putting together a sport-like package on a new 2016 XLT with caribou painted grill and bumpers.

The closest I have found are these methods but it is hard to tell how the shades of browns will work online. Any experiences, thoughts or other suggestions?

Thanks

I did a Google search for a suitable Caribou XLT, which turns out to be forum member Smcd32's truck. (Hope he approves, if not I'll remove the image) I added the wheels and painted the bumpers in Photoshop to give you an idea.

Little too "greenish" in my opinion.

My opinion is that you don't want to match the wheels and paint. You want to contrast. A brown truck most definitely calls for a matte black wheel.

This is awesome. I did a google search today for Bronze rims on a Brown truck and saw my own pic modified...That looks pretty sweet. Nice job!!


It does appear to be more green than bronze though might just be the coloring.

do yourself a favor, if you are really trying to match the Caribou color, find a wheel you like and take them to a reputable painter or powder coat to match the color on the surfaces of the rim you want to match. If you are truly looking to match the color it is the only way you will be happy. Shouldn't cost more than 200-300 to do it right.
