Gunmetal powder coat or black

ZoroItaliano · 03-30-2011, 05:21 PM

So I have to let the shop know what color to make these 19" oem sport wheels.......

I have a pearl white 370z.

I was thinking gun metal cuz black kinda hides in the wheel well..but then I thought of black wheels with a white pin stripe along the diameter of the wheel...

What do you guys think?

The guy at the shop said that chrome black doesn't last that long and that he has people customers coming back to fix em...

He also mentioned putting white in the "v" but that's kinda civicy lol

Edit: any other color For wheels? Like white or red? Hmmm wish I knew how to use photoshop

Gun Metal. Well thats what I plan on doing with mine in the future, or Anthracite (probably fd up that spelling lol)

ZoroItaliano · 03-30-2011, 05:33 PM

Really? You have a red one right? I would check out black with red pin stripe before making a final decision.... What I do Like about gunmetal is the detail of the wheels show...what I hate about it is the silver handles and the gunmetal wheels don't agree unless you paint the handles...but that's just me

I'm not a big fan of color matching wheels, even if its just a pin stripe. I think gun metal would look perfect on red

I would go gunmetal... can't go wrong with gunmetal!

gunmetal. as long as he clearcoats it , it will be fine.

Gunmetal with matt finish goes well with PW.

ZoroItaliano · 03-31-2011, 06:15 AM

Yeah I mean gunmetal is nice.... I was thinking of a glossy or chrome finish...I'm so indecisive .....I wish I knew photo shop .... pictures would help....I do think that black with piNstripe doesn't match better with the rest of the car... Gunmetal is introducing another color to the theme and kinda clashes
I guess if I go gunmetal I would have to get my handles panted or get the carbon fiber handle covers hmmm
