I think bronze and chrome don't match. But if you black out all of your emlems and if it has the metallic look of the 20ae's then it would look NICE!

Or even bronze the emblems to match including the mazdaspeed in the back....

Overall I think it'll be ok, maybe because I am also not a big fan of the speed rims... But bronze on a cherry mica fits a bit more because of the redish/rustic look.

Go for it and post pics!

the main reason im looking to do it is because i also dislike the speed rims and i dont have the cash for aftermarkets so painting these depending on how i do it(spray paint or powder coat) would be the cheaper direction

bronze might be better, but i think its cause in that pic the speed6 wheels are just all one color and look have no characteristics such as reflection or shadow so it is making them look like a paint by number.
