Bold and Daring move
 

I was contemplating doing this for quite some time because I was afraid that it may be too radical for the majority of people. But, I finally decided to go for it. Check out the pictures for the results. Either hate it or like it. Lets not go into the whole issue of name brand vs non name brand; expensive vs cheap; lighter vs heavier; etc. There must be people daring to try new and exciting things. Thanks for viewing.

Looks good, but all gold would look better than the L/R switch-up...

I think the black looks pretty nice, but the 2 different colors just arn't my style. Props to you for having the balls to do it though

i don't understand the 2 rim style thing, but it doesn't look bad. and good choice on going against the grain!

props

gold +1

Dont they come in green or shocking pink?

;) jk, I like the all gold and lower it a tad. Should look good.

Hell no.

While getting my tires mounted, we found this extra bolt in between the studs. What is this?

It's because I've always liked the gold/blue theme look, but I also like the blacked out look, so I just thought, why not just get both? So I did.

It's to keep from mounting the back rims on the front. Take it off.

I haven't pulled the wheels off of the Z to check, but usually that's there to keep you from mounting a front wheel on the back or vice versa. They put them on the new Bentley Continental Supersports because the back wheels are different from the front, but not by much.

EDIT-- beat me to it.

Ya found thy bolt while trying to mount te37SL's on my friend's car. It's a bolt put there so you could not mount the rear wheels in the front, good job Nissan lol

I don't get the whole 2 different rim thing, it really rices up the car imo. The OP should have gone with the darker rims since the fangs are painted.

I feel it would make more since to do the different colors front/back instead of right/left.

Now that will be rice. Since you can only see one side of the car at a time ....and he likes both color. I think he made a great decision.

I like the black rims but not the gold at all. But it's yours so enjoy.

That's just bad.


Rims are same specs, same rim, same brand, just different colors. How much darker can I have gone? Its already black.


I know that its not everyone's cup of tea, but thanks for your mature input.

I think the wheels are pretty cool BUT.....

Next time steal 4 wheels off of the same car not two different ones...













JK. Its a free world whatever floats your boat and the wheels don't look bad...

I ment all 4 black rims, not darker rims, lol

Oh, gotcha.

I quite like them :) They remind me of this:

Looks good, we do this alot in the wheel industry with promo vehicles, but typically with a different style wheel on each side. Its not bad, but I would say I like the black more only b/c of the black theme you have going on the rest of the car.

hey man you finally did it. Looks better then I expected! call your car two face now.Good job

This bolt helps you remove the front brake rotors.

Two more shots. Side views on each side.

I'm sorry but I would just garage my z until I can afford a new paint job on those rims or if you have stockers just switch out the tires...
That's kinda embarassing...

Woah a fellow sacramentonian!!!

Man the switch up thing is not for me - the black looks killer got one question tho - why did you not get a wider setup f/r?

These rims do not come any wider than the staggered sets that I got.

I'm already aware of the negative comments by doing this as it not the norm.

Hey tongman- how come you're not wearing 2 different colored shoes in those picts??

:icon18:

Sorry, didn't bring an extra pair of shoes to change.

looks cool. i definitely like the gold better on your car if you were to pick 1 color.

Thanks Jeff. Here's my car with my buddy's Cobra.

I like it!

nice one xd

They both look good. :D

Should've done all 4 different colors!
Gun Metal Gray, Gloss Black, Gold, Takata Green

^ lol.

I would've gone for the monochromatic shades of gray all around.

the gold actually looks pretty sweet

Watch out some guy is about to take a crap by your car !!
