Yeah, but everyone is going black and anything darker. I wanted contrast since I got tired of the 40th being too dark and grey. And yes, I am starting to regret getting this color. LOL

The 40th wheels are just regular powdercoated Rays. I can always powdercoat my Nismo if needed. And I can always buy 40th rims from a vendor here for a really good price if needed - but I doubt it. I'm loving the Nismo wheels like big time! No need to paint my door handles, rear headlights, and my front headlights! Coz if I still had the 40th Rays, I felt the need to paint the lights black and the door handles into body color.

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.
