Considering getting new wheels...opinions please
 
So after seeing the idea of making the rims the same color as the 370....I'm obsessed about doing it to my Monterey Blue. One option I found is the following:

I found them here:

AME Circlar Spec-R wheels from Upgrade Motoring

There is a chart breakdown on cost and all the other goodies. My question is.....does it make the car look "cheap' or could I get away with it? Or save the money and just get the original rims painted blue? :confused:

Suggestions....opinions?

Nobody can get away with that...

Check out some gram lights, they are nice, good quality and priced well...

And theres a wheels and tires section sir.

Hit the nail on the head right there. Instant way to take the Z from classy to trashy.

The rims in my avatar is what I wanted to put on the Z. Just was unable to fit the right fitment.....

It looked good, when I had the clear bra put on. They had new traffic cones in there lot, so I put them around the Z. An yes it was BAM in your face......lol

Don't do it man. You know how sometimes you see elderly people wearing different shades of the same color? Blue shirt with blue shorts and blue socks, for example? Yet they're all slightly different shades. That's what you'd be doing to your Z. You'd make it geriatric-looking.

I also think that's a bit loud. Maybe go with a black wheel with a blue pinstripe if you really want them to match. But the all blue is a bit much.

I think that would look pretty slick. Who is the member here with a yellow Z with black rims w/ yellow lip? He should throw in a picture.

Forgestar does pinstriping for $150 for all 4 wheels on their wheels...black with blue pinstripe would be sweet :tup:
