Which color should i paint my nismo wheels?
 
Hi guys,
I am having a hard time to choose a color to paint my platinum graphite nismo wheels. I hope you all can give me some ideas. I am currently think the platinum graphite of this vossen might look good on my nismo. Wat u guys think? Painting black is too common i guess. Everyone is doin it-.- im looking to upgrade tothis vossen maybe next year. But cant stop myself from changing a bit of my car every month :d. Your opinion would be helpful. Thanks

It would be good to start with the color of your car

imo leave it stock or get aftermarket. the nismo wheels sell for a good bit- painting them usually makes them look worse than the oem finish, imo.

Agree! Do not ruin your Nismo Rims! You will get more for them if you sell them untouched. If you want different colored wheels, just go aftermarket.

^^ :iagree:

op - do a trial paint using plasti-dip in gunmetal and see how you like it. imho, the nismo's look best in that hyper silver kinda oem finish.

Post a good quality pick and I'll see if I can Photoshop some colors for you.

Thanks guys. I'm thinking about painting it because last time I saw a sport pkg graphite 370z with platinum graphite painted stock wheels. It looks amazing. That was the only one that i saw in Socal.

I painted mine a titanium silver (Nissan Color) and painted the barrels black.

This is a photoshop of mine before and after.
Pretty sure I'm going with the black as in the bottom image.

yah, i think keep the gloss finish to maintain the visible concavity. :)

Plasti-Dip them so you can remove the black or gunmetal when your done and retain the value of the wheels. Also the plasti dip will help protect from curb rash etc..!

Wrong forum dude, this should have been in the Wheels/tires

This was Rising Star's old setup:
