Thanks for all of the input guys! wrap and plasti dip are not going to be considered. I have my mind set on paint right now. I'm kind of bored of black paint, so matte black is off limits. Matte orange would be cool, but idk how well that would match my wheels. I'm probably going to go with matte white or a matte grey.

The clear coat on my paint started to have little swirls in it. if you search around the forums it seems to be a common problem for Nissan cars

That's an easy polish job :tup:

But if you want to change it up a bit and have the tools and know how then kudos :tup: I think the right shade of orange would go fine with those wheels.

Or if you really want to be different, purple with yellow polka dots :icon17:

Repaint your wheels gloss black and do your car in matte midnight purple. Done deal.

Or balloon white. Lamborghini has a matte metallic blue similar to balloon white that's pretty hot too.

Keep the black. :inoutroflpuke:

I like the balloon color.. that ish is hot! and I think if your doing the car in a white the wheel color shouldnt matter... Any color rims usually look good on a white car. Seen plenty white cars with plenty shades of crazy wheel colors. GL!

:iagree: also Nismos with the color matching wheels looks sick. Especially boosted ones. :tup:

matte black it. It will look sick.

:iagree:

how do you all think a Lamborghini green would look? or any shade of green really. maybe similar to mike the powdercoaters green. anyone good with photoshop?

I say keep it black or matte black it. Those wheels fit the black perfect.

I'd stick with your original plan, matte white! Unless you plan on changing your car color every few months.

I agree. I want it to look sporty, but not over the top

Don't do gray, it looks like primer
