Sorry, you already told me how much you charge, but the deciding factor is that you "hate wheels" and the shipping costs. Lol. Thanks for the advice on color though!!

no prob. I do hate wheels, but things are a bit slow right now. Plus, I hate to do colors that need a clearcoat. Make sure whatever color you go with gets a clearcoat if its needed.

I don't know, I think if you are powder coating, it would look awesome if you got the wheels as close to the color of the car as possible. On my previous car, which was pewter gray, I went with the gunmetal colored Gram Lights and they were almost exactly the same color as the car.

A lot of people do black, bronze, gold and what-not on gray cars. I think gray/gray looks sick, and not a lot of people do it.

you guys think dark = best applies to the silver Z as well?

Casey@AEperformance · 12-09-2009, 07:58 PM

I am definitely contradicting myself here, but done right, black on silver or gray can be hard as hell too!

I did that on my Silver RSX and a lot of people liked it.

Olive Green. Do it.

I would go with either the Black Mirror, or something similar to the GT-R rim colors. I would also think about maybe painting a few small interior pieces to match whatever color you decide for your rims. I think that would make a nice color scheme.

Im am new to this site but, I plan on getting my stock 18'' g35 rims powder coated next week and i was looking to get a really dark gray almost black color similar to the gtr wheels because my car is DG which is a really dark silver color.... and even though it was very difficult to pick from the small a** sample color sheets in the shop. I picked the Tiger Drylac 38/90018 Argento 314 metallic.

Even though it looked a bit dark on the color board the guy told me when its on the wheels it will look a little lighter.......

So i guess im asking you MIke did i make the right choice??

I'll prob get killed for it, but in all honesty I enjoy seeing bold colors on rims. Like the Porsche GT3, with either orange, red or green rims. That is if you have the balls to do it, I did not.

Safer route, I'd go with that gunmetal color Minicobra has on his Nismo wheels.

JoeZ · 05-15-2010, 06:55 AM

post em up when you do choose. I have a PG and I am still stuck between gloss and flat black on mine. Yay test subject thats not me. I cant decide but it would be an exspensive mistake to make.

i was going to go with flat black but then i saw that deep deep smoke color on the gtr wheels... it was just hard to find a powder to match... but as soon as i got home from selecting the Argento 314 metallic at the shop as being the closest match. i got on this forum and saw that Mike who does powder coating said that its pretty close just confirmed my choice!!!!

I will def. post pics when done. that should be by thurs....
