Hey all, I'm sort of a lurker here, but I just picked up a set of 2012 Sport wheels for autocross and track use, so I thought I'd post up a couple comparison photo's. I <3 this color!!

2014 Sport Wheels

I definitely enjoy the 2014's more because of the gunmetal and shape of the spokes, but the silver of the 2012's compliments all the silver accents on the car.

I'm definitely a fan of this color and considering purchasing a 2013 Z. How is the upkeep on this color compared to say, Black? My first Z was Black and it was an absolute nightmare to keep looking clean.

It's still a dark color, so pollen and dirt show up fairly easily. But having also owned a black car in the past, car washes last longer than a couple days (maybe a week) with this navy color

Maybe.

Out here in AZ it's still only a couple of days on average. If I can get a week out of it I'm impressed.

It's sad.

But, it's also a daily driven car, so that has a lot to do with it not lasting.

...and, it doesn't look too bad on the '12 sport Rays. I've been curious to what it may look like.

Mine will hold across two weekends typically. Depends on the pollen count as noted before. Mine is not a dd and is garaged, which also helps.

I've only had mine for a week. I've washed it three times but we had a lot of rain which made me wash it twice, and then I went on a short road trip this weekend so there were bugs to get off.

I'm similar to jpkirk, though. This is not a DD and it is garaged, so I expect to be washing it less than I have been on average.

Enjoyed a nice night drive up to Sunrise on Mt. Rainier:

That's ISO 3200 / F4 / 30 Seconds / Canon 5dmkiii / 16-35 F4L IS (hence the wide angle distortion)...
