Default Bronze wheels on Gondwana Stone

As I wait for what I hope to be the correct Defender 110 - X to be built/shipped/delivered, I've been wheel-shopping and while I initially was thinking black, I'm now considering bronze as it might be a good match for the Gondwana Stone/Black of the X.
I'm also planning on doing a satin PPF on the brown (leaving the black hood and body trim with gloss clear PPF) so the satin look of the paint would be even a better match for the bronze wheels.
Loving the Vossen's

The Vossens were

my inspiration- I didn’t like the stock look of my wheels nor the price tag of aftermarket
solution- powder coat !

I love bronze and gold wheels. I Plastidipped my MINI Clubman wheels to bring out the factory roof, mirrors and stripes. For the record, it held up perfectly for the two years I had it before selling to Carvana.

Nice solution - they look great. What were your all-in costs? (un-mounting, powder coat, re-mount)
Did you have another set to drive on when this was being done, or did you leave her up on jack stands?

150 per wheel by local shop included everything and I had new KO2 installed at the time.
2 day turnaround so not too bad. Car left on stands at shop.
