Does painting/powdercoating rims black on a red 370z look unprofessional?

It's all subjective.

My eyes feel as if black wheels have a cheap/bland feel to the car. Maybe I relate it to steel wheels on a base model-beater car. Black rims give off almost a dirty vibe. Chrome rims give off a ghetto vibe. The clean stock 370z rims give off a sexy, sharp, chic vibe. But again...that's all subjective. I personally like 5 star silver wheels...simple, sporty, blends well with many cars, and they're easy to clean.

Some guys love black or chrome rims. Some don't. Get what you like...because you're not driving a Lexus in the first place.

The ONLY WAY chrome looks ghetto is on an exaggerated design on 22's and up. If you buy axis wheels in black? Then I can see a cheap look. Many matte designs are hard to pull off without a full matte paint job. Base whees are not good looking at all. Sport and Nismo look nice.

A lexus is a glorified toyota as infiniti is a glorified nissan. Nice cars but class doesn't come from an upgraded nissan with standard leather.
You talking Benz? You saying something. BMW yeah, jaguar, absolutely. Land Rover, definately. Audi, depending on which model. Porsche. Yes... acura??? Hahahahahaaaa.

But like you said. Everyone has there opinions.

Meanwhile, I'm a lead systems engineer and I daily drive my Z to work. It gets all the stares and applauds...but probably if I were program management they'd go "...wtf?" lol

Instead of black, have them painted gun metal like the Z33 Nismos. Understated, but different. Looks great with red.
