There was a time in history when bronze was celebrated for its achievements. An era between the Stone Age and the Iron Age, where bronze proliferated as one of the hardest, most durable metals used extensively for armory and other technological advances of its time. It was durable and purposeful and created only by skilled craftsmen by smelting copper with tin.
At TSW, we’ve always embraced the use of bronze in our wheels. With its distinct subtleties of color, texture and ambitious history, it could be because our roots are in racing—where we’re always striving to achieve more tomorrow than we did today. Like much of bronze’s technological development over time, choosing the perfect wheel and wheel finish for your build is a skillful process all its own.
We believe there is a wheel for every occasion and a finish for every aesthetic. TSW’s wheel lines come in a variety of bronze finishes and hues to keep any angle of your setup covered, from bronze and matte bronze to our brushed bronze and dark bronze wheel designs.
Standard Issue Bronze Wheels
Both bronze and matte bronze are timeless combinations when paired with a neutral-colored car or truck build. They add a splash of pop on an otherwise clean and mature color palette such as black and white, or even on various gray paint finishes.
The great thing about bronze wheels is that they tend to introduce warmth without being over the top in the “look at me” department (gold and chrome wheels come to mind). Somewhat surprisingly, bronze wheels also tend to be an organic match on a deep red or blue car, adding another layer of sophistication to your build.
For trucks and off-road builds, Black Rhino has a wide range of truck wheels available in bronze and matte bronze finishes.
Bronze Rims: Classy By Nature
In instances where an even higher class of sophistication is called for, such as luxury and VIP builds, a brushed bronze finish is an increasingly popular wheel finish that’s becoming something of a go-to of its own.
Elegantly dynamic, the brushed bronze finish is a textured top layer on top of the bronze base coat that brings out a wide spectrum of bronze hues that naturally accentuate the wheel spoke definition, especially when they catch some sunlight or are moving quickly. Brushed bronze wheels tend to appear brighter than the standard bronze, thus marrying well with existing chrome and polished accents.
The brushed bronze over the matte bronze combo also allows for a duality in personality by either coming off conservative or dramatic—depending on the way your build is set up.
Bronze Wheels: Understated By Design
Our dark bronze finish is an essential look when building a functional stealth rig or when needing the ideal dark wheel to complete your blacked-out look without letting the wheel completely disappear into your wheel well.
A reserved color by design, dark bronze allows technical and intricate wheel architecture to take the driver’s seat. Working well on almost any type of vehicle build, dark bronze truly compliments anything you throw it up against, from matted-out paints and wraps to military green, lizard green and Nardo gray.
If you’re in the market for a new set of wheels, the bronze wheel trend looks like it’s going to be here to stay for some time. Pairing up perfectly with pretty much every sports car, sedan, truck and even crossover build, check out bronze TSW and Black Rhino options (and all of their color and size variants) today.
