Default 20 Donz Wheels or 19 Oem??

hey well I bought rims of my friend and I need your opinion. When I bought my car used the good news was that it came with the 19's. The bad news is that every rim was curbed and that was bothering me. Now im debating what I should do keep the 20" Donz Montana or get the stock ones refinished and powdercoat them bronze? Heres a pic of a coupe with the wheels (not my car but the same wheels). The only thing keeping my from going back to stock is that its almost impossible to find good tires for them because the Potenzas that I have are garbage. Traction with these is an issue at the rear wheels

How is it any harder to find good tires for your OEMs than it would be for any other wheel? It's not like they are an oddball size.

The difference between those yo yo bling wheels and the OEMs is all in your personal style, because they are vastly different in those terms. Personally I would prefer the OEMs everyday over those, but rock what you like.

Oh, and I'm not voting because no way in hell would I put bronze anything on that color G. OEM in OEM finish, and the money you would have spent on powdercoat + whatever you sell those Donz for = fulfilling your "More To Come" in your sig.

yea i know what you mean but the car in the pic is that blueish color that you could get and i have the grey color. I figured bronze wouldn't look that bad with the grey

I know...I MEANT that I wouldn't put bronze wheels on the graphite color. However, I personally think bronze would look pretty good with that light blue/silver color like in that pic
