c5 magnesium wheel chop, please!

Going from c5's to c5's! if anyone could help me out, even a rough chop would be great, also if your feeling really ambitious, a 1" or 2" drop would be nice to see as well.

Re: c5 magnesium wheel chop, please!

Is there a way to brighten the bronze?
There's a car running around that has gold wheels-looks decent against the pearl metallic blue.
It's not the mirror shiney gold,almost a matte but is bright.
