The stock Nismo wheels are among the sexiest OEM wheels ever made

I also debated aftermarket wheels, until I got the Nismo wheels powder coated. Get even more looks now, and peps dont believe me when I tell'm they are stock wheels

This. After seeing what the OEM's look like powder coated black, I'm definitely sticking with them. I went through nearly every 19" wheel from the wheel weight excel file, and they're quite light compared to others at that size. I was pretty surprised actually.

Got to love forged aluminum wheels

Your wheels look GREAT like that with the time attack stripe.

Just curious why you didn't get the center caps painted to match?

If I had a set of Nismo wheels I would have to steal your idea.

To me items that "match" dont always look good. There needs to be contrast to make them stand out/pop. For instance, the powder coated color of my wheels would have matched the stock caliper color almost perfect. But, red contrasts/pops for a better look to me

I did black and copper on my 350Z. Still dark, but the contrast worked. Red would certainly stand out more.

(personally, the red/black combo isn't for me, even though it looks great on most Z's.)
