If you look at actual pics of people with the bronze 1.2s on their rides, in the sunlight, they look MUCH MUCH better than the way that shade/color comes across in that photoshop (although Chalon tried, it just does NOT do the color justice), to the point that now I am back to not being able to make up my mind between it and the gloss black on a Magnetic ST.
I'ts doubly confounding, as I cannot make up my mind between 15x8s , or 17x8s either.![[:(]](/images/smilies/frown.png "Frown [:(]")

Same here, and I even ordered mine with the all seasons, since it will be starting to get cooler/cold by the time they get it to me.
I plan to put some pure summer Max performance (or even 100-200 tread wear 'gumballs') on the Pro race 1.2s, and then get a set of less costly/lesser Sparcos or such for winter use only, with Nokians on them (or even just put some WS-80 Blizzacks on the factory wheels-much LESS than ideal for snow/ice use, given the width/profile).

In the sun these bronze 15x8s look almost gold, quality product. I've been driving around on them for two days and my car feels "planted". My fiesta on the stock wheels and tires was understeering quite a bit. Even during easy turns the car was ready to understeer, not confidence inspiring. With these meats mounted up the car feels much more balanced, no more sense of understeer. The car feels like it wants to go around corners at a much higher speed than i can do on my daily commute. I can't wait to go on a drive in the mountains. this definitely turned my car into go-kart/urban rally car.
These 15's are so much better on the highway compared to my stock setup, which would "bang" going over unavoidable California bumps, seems, and potholes.
Honestly this wheel set-up is the most impactful mod I have done to my car. Was thinking my next mode would be coilovers, but these tires have made such a big difference on the driving dynamics that i will probably look into a different upgrade while i get use to this. I recommend 100%
setup: 15x8 pro race gloss Bronze, 225 45r15 BFGoodrich Rival, stock suspension

THANKS!!
Even weighing ~4lbs. more, these look SO MUCH better to me than the 6uls in this size, that I will give up the un-sprung advantage of the 6uls to be able to love my car that much more, every time I walk up to it. (Wheels can 'make or break' a car's aesthetics as far as I'm concerned.
)
How many of the black gloss and bronze are left, and once they're gone, (about) how long until back in stock??

Gloss black is good.
I cannot say when to expect the next shipment at this time as Team Dynamics is yet to place an order. Could very well be 4th Qtr or later.
