Alexpila,
I cleaned it up a little bit.



man, that looks awesome! VERY VERY nice! Me having a blue car, I'm limited to what I can do with my rims. But if I had a while Z, this would be on my list.

Just curious, did you show them the 40th anniversary pic or ctzn's picture?

Looks fantastic. BTW, are you planning on paining the brake caliper to red as well like the 40th anniversary?

Default wheel color

I think that white is the best choice. Very classy. Rather than paint them darker, I'd just stay with the chrome.

Here is another picture i had on my phone i jst found




Im not sure i think i might as it would be nice and noticeable bt nt at the moment. The guy who did my rims wanted to spray my rear spoiler the same colour.... So i'll see when i can spend some more time out the car before i get the calipers sprayed..

I actually got them sprayed as the powder-coaters here aren't very good at making custom colors so they are sprayed..
