Opinion on what color to paint rims
 
I have a black 370z nismo, everything is stock on it right now but I was thinking of painting the rims, my dad owns a bodyshop so I can really do anything I want. What do you guys think about flat black? Or gunmetal? Was also thinking about tinting the tail lights and spraying the emblems to match the rims.

I say black em out :tup:

kevrocks 04-30-2013 02:55 PM

i think the stock rim color looks best on a black Z :)

enkei2k 04-30-2013 03:06 PM

I vote hot pink.

Keep the stock Nismo set oem color. Go and buy yourself a real set if your wanting a new color.

Bking 04-30-2013 03:12 PM

dark bronze, or gun metal.

I think everything blacked out looks bland.

kenchan 04-30-2013 03:18 PM

I would do the 40th color wheels.

kenchan 04-30-2013 03:22 PM

and the door handles

Grindkiezer 04-30-2013 03:26 PM

I think black would look sick but I wouldn't go with flat black

Haboob 04-30-2013 03:30 PM

Dark metallic purple.

Blacked out is too overdone IMO. (No offense to anyone though).

I saw a 40th yesterday with orange powder coated base rims.

It was def. different.

forza370z 04-30-2013 04:02 PM

Gunmetal hands down

KERMIT 04-30-2013 04:56 PM

Gunmetal is much better than black.

DEpointfive0 04-30-2013 04:57 PM

Black chrome or gun metal or black (in my order of sexiness)

I agree. Flat black rims on a gloss black car isn't my bag. I'd go gloss black or gunmetal.

GoJagZ 04-30-2013 05:13 PM

Definitely bronze. Black is overdone.

Haboob 04-30-2013 05:18 PM

Lime green. They'd really pop.

I'd be down, lol

obito 04-30-2013 07:04 PM

dark bronze or very very bright colour like lime green

fairladyZ34 04-30-2013 08:08 PM

gunmetal FTW

Z-Girl 12 04-30-2013 08:10 PM

Pink or lime green...come on! Do it!

edub370 04-30-2013 08:32 PM

Bronze... See sig

Tick64 04-30-2013 08:54 PM

Ya know, I was honestly thinking you could get away with a dark metallic purple. It would look sick on a black nismo. Not really any opposing colors for contrast on a black z.

gurneyeagle 04-30-2013 09:18 PM

I painted mine the 40th anniversary color (KAV). It has a purplish tint hat distinguishes it from gun metal. Would look great on a black car.

Black with lime green brake calibers and lug nuts. Would look sick.

luigi90210 05-01-2013 03:56 AM

neon green with orange center caps

kenchan 05-01-2013 10:39 AM

mr.gurney- :yum:

axmea? 05-02-2013 12:17 AM

High Gloss KAV.

XiP 05-02-2013 12:30 AM

2xtreme1 05-02-2013 01:41 AM

I love the look of gunmetal on black, or pretty much any color! The new sport wheels are closer to a gunmetal which makes me like them that much more.

Bronze

IMO black wheels on a black car is played out. Go with a stand out color. Red or orange on black looks awesome, look up Porsche GT3.

Stock looks good, but maybe bronze or gunmetal

Wabbyyy 05-05-2013 04:57 PM

Black Nismo with Black wheels. Blacked out Nismo= Sex on wheels.

Don't plasi-dip. Powder coat them :]
