Like mentioned above that can be powder coated. most likely a black base with the protected areas taped off the repowder coated with the black base covered and then the clear would probably be applied. I am not 100% sure but it makes sense to me.

this looks sick. i have the brilliant silver 370 also and was wondering what the car would look like with the black/silver wheels. could u also do a black/gold and gold/black combo? i want to tint my headlights yellow and tryin to be different, but i still want it to look good. i'm very picky when it comes to customizing (as u can see with the celica i had). thanks.

He told me he could do the black gloss paint for $165 each wheel (Which I thought was a bit expensive!?) but said I should try and get custom blue stickers or something like that made up to fit on the rims.
He also said if we do the rims black i should blacken the door handles too... Which is true I guess but I read somewhere on here that they are a real bitch to get off?! Dont really want a rim specialist messing with my doors :S

anyway... interesting concept... 'stickers' on the rims...
Iv never seen it done myself?
Any recommendations?

Can you make the blue part, black? That could give the illusion of a skinny spoke.

shadyDR · 10-18-2009, 01:01 PM

Can you do the same but for a silver z. I would like to see it with Black rims, handle, windows and tail lights. I think it would like good, what do you guys think?

ddvette9 · 10-18-2009, 06:14 PM

+1 Vote for a silver Z with non sport black wheels with the body matched ring around the outside

So.... after my 10,000km service, my Nissan Dealer did a puncture repair on a small nail in my rear right tyre, they dropped the wheel on its face and scratched it up nice, so they are paying for it to be repaired/painted!

But iv cchanged my idea again.
Can anyone photoshop a Monterey Blue with non-sport rims (18's) with everything black inside except for the spokes (leave the spokes silver all the way to the tire wall...
Would like to see how that looks.
Perhaps then also add a blue pinstripe running along the highest ridge of the spokes? (This is where they scratched mine!)

With a black base coat

bullitt5897 · 09-29-2009, 10:39 AM

Let me know if there are any other colors you want and I will make them... it takes about 5 secs to do it.
