Any chance you can link to a shade of grey you like? Glossy or matte?

Scania · 6 Jan 2011 at 21:47

I'd leave that as is. Looks fine to me.

geekyEd · 6 Jan 2011 at 21:47

keep them as they are as they match the door pulls

mjt · 6 Jan 2011 at 21:47

I'd not bother with those stock wheels.
Upgrade to some gnarly grey Nismo ones or something

MikeHiow · 6 Jan 2011 at 21:51

They'd look cool in the really glossy, slightly bronze/dark grey like you get on the GTR.

yeah that's the colour i like i might be getting the door handles painted gloss black the only reason. I am doing this is my son bought me some black Z badges for the car for xmas and i did not like to disappoint him by not fitting them so i have decided to go the full hog.

Just a quick and dirty mock up...

Benihana · 6 Jan 2011 at 22:08

Trouble with 'shopping silver wheels is that you have no reflection to give darker colours the deep gloss that makes them stand out.

I think your best bet would be to hit the owners club and see if someone else has the same colour combo.

One thing I would say is that you should stay away from black - you need to keep your car anally clean (they do not stay cleaner than silver wheels) and use tyre shine almost daily

The darker grey etc. is fine.

Photos really do not do those wheels justice - if you get an opportunity have a look at them in person.

i am edging towards the grey i thing black has been done to death and i think it looks more oem.

Can some one paint the door handles black.

Benihana · 6 Jan 2011 at 22:21

Yeah, it would be easier if you had a picture of the wheels in the right colour, to then put them on top in photoshop. But thats almost too easy....

Benihana · 6 Jan 2011 at 22:24

'Scuse the rush job...

I took it you prefered grey, can do both black if you like?

EDIT: Helps if you squint

morgan25 · 6 Jan 2011 at 22:33

i found one near the right colour is that any good?

Rear wheels are too far inside the arches IMHO, a small hub centric spacer to bring them out a little would improve the stance no end!

Fr0dders · 6 Jan 2011 at 22:40

The Nismo Wheels Look good. Thats the sort of colour you want
