Since everybody it throwing their opinions in on this one...

I think bronze would look horrible on your car. I like the style of the wheel (TE37V) though. I think the CCWs are a good choice. Although, I do worry that they might look too bulky on your car. I think a quick photochop is in order here.

The way the lines on your car are, they make it look very light weight and minimalist. In my opinion, Classics look best on cars have smooth contours, or are very bulky looking cars from the get go. For instance, Miatas are small, but very round, and Classics look good on them. SN95 Mustangs are more angular, but they're bulky/heavy looking cars so Classics work. Supras are both round and heavy looking and Classics look amazing. I don't know why that is, but in my eyes, it's almost always true. A first gen MR2 doesn't look right with 3pc mesh type wheels, nor does a Lotus Elise/Exige. (disclaimer: BBS LMs look amazing on ANY car, not sure why they're such an exception)

On a small, more angular car like yours, I worry that Classics might not flow with the rest of the look, and will end up distracting from the rest of the car. Although, in the colors you posted, that would help minimize that since they're such subdued colors. If you were going for the current trend of wheels being the sole focus of a car, then yes... go for it. I don't think that's your goal though. I think a lightweight looking, one piece wheel that fits the rest of your car's theme would look better. My thoughts are for something styled like those TE37Vs, but in a dark gunmetal color. Regamasters would look amazing too I think, as would some Advan RS/RZs or CE28s. The problem is that for a couple hundred dollars more than the Advans, the CCWs can be had and they are a superior built wheel. The Volks are going to cost more unless you stumble on the perfect used pair, and I'm not even sure how easy it is to come by a good fitting set of Regas.

Wheel choice is difficult, the CCWs are dope and may work out great. I just think doing a quick photochop of them on there might be a wise move.

::edit::

Yep, Regas look amazing on a 180SX

thanks Flite...now that you explained it that way i may need someone to photochop. i think the te37v would also look raw with a satin black finish, but damn that would be more money on top of an expensive wheel to change color.

Noland is a super nice dude and it helps when there is a local shop within 25miles.
Wow, that's dumb cheap for PC!
