Pick my rim color for me [NISMO]

Equinox · 12-07-2009, 09:39 PM

Hey guys, I wanna get rid of the stock look color of my NISMO wheels, and I am going to get them powdercoated. The guy that does the work for me uses this website

Powder Buy The Pound | Powder Coating Equipment and Supplies

I'm not sure whate color I want to do on the car, it's a platinum graphite car, so I was thinking maybe a dark silver color, but I've even played with ideas like using a crimson dark red, a black chrome, or something else. Do me a favor, and look around the website, and give me your opinion on what coating you think would look good. I would do POWDER BY COLOR on the left menu, and work your way down to the coating you think is best. Thanks for the input!

Solor rain is cool (black)

Candy Red

Black mirror

Bonded Black Chrome

I vote candy red on the entire inside section of the wheel, with the solar rain as the face. Gives a subtle hint of something hot behind the wheels

Black Chrome

GT Motoring · 12-08-2009, 11:41 AM

Keep it dark on that color.

Definitely stay away from that red!

Equinox · 12-08-2009, 06:13 PM

I've decided I want to do something as close as possible to the GT-R wheel color
now I just gotta figure out what that is....

black chrome?

ctzn · 12-08-2009, 06:43 PM

I am getting my wheels powder coated that same black chrome, I think it would look great on your car.

bullitt5897 · 12-08-2009, 07:11 PM

the problem with black chrome is that it can sometimes come off as gray and that will clash with the car... darker is better on PG!

Try Tiger Drylac's Argento 314 Metallic. I did some GTR exhaust tips in this color and it was about a perfect match.

here is a pic, but not of my work.
