Rule of thumbs for black cars?

No gun-metal? That's by far the best looking color on a black G/Z!

Like many, I started to hate the "murdered out" theme and decided against black wheels with a polished lip. (Although, I did contemplate a solid black look, which looks awesome).

This isn't a 370Z, but here's what gunmetal wheels look on a G Coupe (wheels and car were dirty when I took the shots):

Volk and played out don't fall in the same sentence. The only reason why you're getting that assumption that everyone has TE37's are because of the knockoffs and look-a-likes. Using the mustang wheels are a terrible example of comparison because...

1. Those wheels are polished in contrast to the matte and semi-gloss finish on volk wheels.
2. TE37 have spokes that are flat, have extreme offsets, and the concave aspect is greater than those mustang wheels.
3. Those wheels have no comparison to the performance benefits that volks offer (lightweight, forged, and used highly in racing such as JGTC).

No offense to your post, it just upsets me when people overlook the appreciation for simplicity and how well it makes a car look good. Sure there are knockoffs, but you can identify the fake ones and the benefits alone that RAYS Engineering offers by supplying passion for excellence in quality and motorsports show that they are an exceptional brand.

How can you not love this...
