I think it would look awesome man, you should go for it. I see what some say about it looking cool on the GT3, but the 370z's not exactly a sh*tty old Passeo. I think it's exotic-looking enough to carry the bold color. I vote red - it'll go well with the black.

Besides, when you choose to do something that bold to your car, the whole idea is that it stands out. Some will hate it. Some will love it. But EVERYONE will notice it, and to me that's the whole point. As long it's not too rice, like those ridiculous wings some kids bolt to their cars.

I'd also say that, while it would look awesome to have some form of subtle color-matching on the car, I wouldn't say it's at all necessary. Keep it clean. Get the wheels and just run with that at first - you might decide to stick with it.

Lol people LIKE the GT3 colors? jesus christ I find the rims they put on them the most ugly things I have seen.

being a porsche isn't going to make me like red rims.

Agreed... in photos I would never consider a flat grey porsche with red rims, but in person the car is sooo sexy. Sometimes you have to see the thing in person to appreciate it.

On a side note I saw a riced out Civic and a RSX on the 91 a couple days ago... The Civic had green wheels and the RSX had blue wheels. Although it is flashy, sometimes it's cool to see people try something different.

Please, for the love of God, do not rip off the old school Carrera rocker panel graphics!


And for anyone who thinks brightly coloured wheels are fresh and new, this is me in 1991:

On the street, yeah, but wild schemes always look at home on the track.

Yeah, no doubt. I still think it's tough to pull the full look together on a track car. Almost impossible on a street car unless you garage and only drive on clear days. Nothing worse than brightly colored rims covered in brake dust.

m4a1mustang 02-21-2011 09:10 PM

Not hard at all on a track car. Just look at all the race cars out there...

I just mean getting the shades right.

I might spray the subie winter rims a ridiculous color? I'm thinking pink.

Probably only q quarter of them! ;)

Volcom370Z 02-25-2011 02:39 PM

I've been of the Porcshe wheel color too but my problem is my car is yellow...

I'm thinking of getting it wrapped but if I got my wheels powdercoated (permanment) it would need to look good with a yellow car too...

Ideas?

I'd like to stay away from the bumble bee thing... which is why my first instinct to go to black wheels is likely not going to happen... I do like the pearl finish on the wheels shown earlier... One idea I had was to get a deep navy blue color that almost looks black unless its in direct sunlight

Could get old fast. You could also do a gunmetal sort of color with yellow or navy accents.

I don't think the Z can handle a purple wrap... I was thinking the matte grey... I fly on AF jets and I like the look :tup:

Very True.

Yea that matte gray is sweet. Someone on here has a matte white on that looks pretty badass as well.
