Wheel Color.
 
Just got these back from the sand blaster.

I was going to paint them Black again, like they were before. The black had chips and flakes in the paint from not being properly prepared. I knew that before I bought them, so I didn't care/ They're Nismo wheels!
So, now my mind is leaning toward a metal flake silver color.
Any wheels out there that color? I saw a Chrysler silver years ago that made me think of this for the wheels, but I cannot recall the year or make of the car. Old age is getting the better of my brain cells.

What are your thoughts on that color or another? No, there will be no Orange. Mike has taken that color. :)

Jet anthrocite. There is a wheel thread on here with that color. I think it would look badass.

Not a fan of OEM wheels painted any color except black.

You could go matte black if you want to do something different.

Your a funny guy... Enough said..

I woulda stuck with gloss black since their stockers....white after market rims can look good on black though.

daisuke149 06-29-2011 08:35 AM

Should do a mix of Black and Gold. And Throw a Steelers Decal on there too.

docaam 06-29-2011 09:01 AM

dark blue?

DjSquall 06-29-2011 09:59 AM

Bright neon pink should do the trick.

kenchan 06-29-2011 10:12 AM

yellow! :D ;)

the gloss black looks good, i'd paint that center caps though....!!!

personally i wouldve went with matte-black or matte-gunmetal/graphite. :)

stells370 06-29-2011 11:08 AM

all white!

That would actually look sick. Total whiteout :D

This color

What is that color? Gunmetal? I will look at the anthrocite color too. The original powdercoat on the factory wheels was sort of a silver color.
I cannot get into the matte color wheels unless I had the matte black body wrap at the same time. The car is too glossy IMO for a matte wheel. Thanks for the opinions though.
Now white would be something if I were 20 years younger.
The black color that was on the wheels when I bought them looked nice, but (and this is ghetto butt) the back wheels did not look like 19s. They looked the same size or smaller from a distance next to my stock rims.
Keep the pictures and opinions coming! Thanks for the responses so far.

I am not a pillow-biter, not that there is anything wrong with that. :)

Those wheels on the white nismo are painted, color code k11

ZeeingAround 06-30-2011 04:20 PM

This is a tough one. I may only have the wheels for a few years at most, so the K11 Smoke metallic would look good and look great on other color cars.
K12 Radiant Silver metallic
k23 Liquid Platinum metallic
KY0 Diamond Silver metallic are other colors that would stand out on a Black car.

Any more ideas?
