^ really depends on wheel selection.

Do what you want to do.
It's your car, I'm tired of seeing the samethings.

I like it both ways actually, the black with the red line and if you filled in the nismo with red I think it would look pretty good. Than again they already look goo in silver.

electrical tape FTW!

silver wheel is irking me considering i blacked the fangs, rear valence, have dark tints, and i'm going to body match the door handle...

no love for gunmetal or titanium?

LOL! thats what I was thinking. Why get them painted??? just get the tape out... looks great in the pics!

Love it

Id loose the Nismo wheels and replace with the sport wheels + spacers...gunmetal. I agree Red looks good with the stock wheels

Went around to shops today to get quotes on the job. So far only one company said they can do what I'm looking for. That company, however, seemed scary to me. So, the hunt continues.

Hopefully the goal I have will do something for this car that I've been wanting for a long time now. A Slimming look. I want the eye to draw up to the painted car instead of the large wheels. The silver pulls your focus away from the car. Just like that damn door handle.

So, tomorrow the wheels come off and the painted pieces will be soon headed back.

No way would I leave this kinda temptation (the car) with any company other than Nissan. :icon08:

I like it, it's just the gap is suprisingly noticable, so I say go for it and just pick up some coils

I've been thinking of powder coating my wheels for awhile now, I go back and forth because my Cooper S has black wheels and they look great, but get dirty so fast.
The silver wheels on the Z always look good, even when dirty.

If you go with black, IMO the stripe makes the wheel looks smaller on a 19" rim. Also reminds me of all the $150 cheap wheels that come with a red stripe these days.
If you do go with a stripe, I think it would look better thinner. See pic attached.

how is the tape going to hold up over time. I can't deny it looks pretty good now but if it starts peeling it won't look right. I say stick with the red ring, looks original

you really thought he was going to drive around with it like that...?:confused:

Why not? Think of it as a Clear Bra but in black..and for your wheels! :D

Sweet pics!

I almost went ahead with this project this last week until I saw something at one of the shops I visited. It's called "black chrome" and OMG was it sexy!!!

Your photo of the Nismo with the black looks exactly like what I want. I've thought about the red strip a lot too, I just wanted something to "tie" the red into the mix. For what ever reason, the silver on these rims is just crap to me. I saw a new sports/touring with the rims they come with and the silver on those is like 10x more shinny and it's finished throughout the rim, ours are just painted on the outside and the inside is all overspray. (hate it)
