Nismo Wheels on my 40th.

Footloose301 · 03-12-2011, 10:20 AM

I like Nismo wheels but the color doesn't go well. The darker wheels look better.

For now, I'll keep it OEM look. I might powdercoat them matte silver just to repair some of the rashes. If I start going satin black, I have to tint my tail lights and blacken my headlights! Too much money! LOL

Honestly, you took a chance and it paid off big time. Nice.

Thanks man! I was wondering the same too. It paid off. I really like the contrast, the whole body being dark, the rotors and rims in silver and the caliper in red. Looks awesome in person esp. when just detailed!

Wow! Somehow I missed this thread earlier. The Nismo 370Z wheels are in my opinion the best wheel for the 370Z, whether Nismo or not. Of course I'm a little biased since I have a set too.

Next, I really like the way the OEM Nismo color looks on the 40th Anniversary. The dark/light contrast is nice. Plus the red calipers really stand out with the Nismo wheels being so open.

Thanks brotha! I thought of the same thing rather making the 40th too dark.

What size spacers were you running with that setup? Looks clean

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I was curious with the new 2013 Nismos out, has anyone put those wheels on the 40th since they are darker graphite color? Or has anyone had the older Nismo wheels painted to match the current 40th wheel's color? Curious to compare the darker vs lighter color on 40th.
I'm sure someone good at photo shop could pull it off...

check out gurneyeagle's car. his use to be a 40th.... now a nismo 40th.

Crxckadome · 06-06-2013, 12:21 AM

Kenchan, I checked out his Z and it's just a 2011 silver with Nismo wheels.
I also didn't see any on those two threads, searched up and down those many of times. Google didn't even come up with any results...

LMBmikeZ · 06-06-2013, 04:41 AM

ok I will find one!

Agreed. Actually the wheels from the '13 Nismo would look killer.

LMBmikeZ · 06-06-2013, 04:44 AM

HA! found one already in one of those threads I linked!

It's a Amuse kit 40th but it looks F*CKING SEXY

Actually IIRC theres another member who's 40th owner with colour matched Nismos I would have to search but it was discussed that the rims are actually a different paint code for the 40ths they are not painted KAV.

But yes smoking the nismos would look
