I'd leave the wheels alone, if I were you. They are too nice and I think you will regret doing it afterward. Just my opinion. Nice Z.
Thanks man!

I'm honestly not a big fan of the sport wheels. They're just a bit too busy for my taste. I've seen them painted black and I think it looks great. Seems to tone them down a bit. I'm pretty set on painting them.

Yes sir! I had the dealer swipe the seats out of another Z on the lot. I was dead set on persimmon. It's weird, everyone seems to love or hate the seats. Mostly people hate them, including the girlfriend. The dealer seemed happy to swap them into my car so he could get rid of them
when yall say persimmon, thats the same as 'burnt orange' right?

and how come ive never seen this beast around? i live right by mallard creek/tryon intersection. ill keep an eye out, but i dont have a Z anymore for you to spot

I'm actually in that area pretty often but the Z isn't my daily driver. So keep an eye out for me when the weather is nice

Yeah I've only seen like 2 or 3 370's around here. I'd be down for a meet if someone organized it. Even better, we should get a group together and drive out to the Dragon or something

For the wheels, you can check out this thread: I think I should have waited to paint my wheels

Or you can check em out in person at a meet one day

Look into powder coating them gunmetal gray. That would look great on your car and would last longer/resist scratching.

I already painted them black myself with wheel paint. Had a rough start but after some effort I'm really happy with how they turned out and they're holding up great so far Here's the thread: Link
