I would take a walk through the wheel section to get some ideas. There is loads of pictures of all kinds of different colored rims. Getyourwheels daily pics thread is a good place to get started to check out some color choices.

I had similar thoughts about powder coating my Nismo wheels.....I first
powder coated my brake calipers in a Inferno Orange color...I hit the
stop button for now...Felt leave what I have or put the money into
a new set of aftermarket wheels...On a hold pattern for now........

Wouldnt want you causing a ruckus in the streets half way around the world :P

The OEM nismo wheels are pretty good imo and fairly light. It would be hard to justify spending $4k just for looks. I would rather use that $$$ for other parts.

I can't really tell from your avatar, but it looks like your wheels are already black...?

If you want a color that would stand out more, you could try a bronze variant, they range from darker to very bright. Bronze Burst would probably be very sexy on a black Z.

Here is a quick reference for colors.

They're OEM which is a black plastic coating. I was thinking something like these colors. I am leaning towards purple.

go red.. like a candy red kinda red. someone with a white nismo did it and looked good on his car.

i prefer the hyper silver color or the gunmetal though.
