Pick my rim color for me [NISMO]

Equinox · 12-08-2009, 06:13 PM

I've decided I want to do something as close as possible to the GT-R wheel color
now I just gotta figure out what that is....

black chrome?

I am getting my wheels powder coated that same black chrome, I think it would look great on your car.

the problem with black chrome is that it can sometimes come off as gray and that will clash with the car... darker is better on PG!

I don't know, I think if you are powder coating, it would look awesome if you got the wheels as close to the color of the car as possible. On my previous car, which was pewter gray, I went with the gunmetal colored Gram Lights and they were almost exactly the same color as the car.

A lot of people do black, bronze, gold and what-not on gray cars. I think gray/gray looks sick, and not a lot of people do it.

I did that on my Silver RSX and a lot of people liked it.

Try Tiger Drylac's Argento 314 Metallic. I did some GTR exhaust tips in this color and it was about a perfect match.

here is a pic, but not of my work.

Im am new to this site but, I plan on getting my stock 18'' g35 rims powder coated next week and i was looking to get a really dark gray almost black color similar to the gtr wheels because my car is DG which is a really dark silver color.... and even though it was very difficult to pick from the small a** sample color sheets in the shop. I picked the Tiger Drylac 38/90018 Argento 314 metallic.

Even though it looked a bit dark on the color board the guy told me when its on the wheels it will look a little lighter.......

So i guess im asking you MIke did i make the right choice??

cotizi · 12-09-2009, 06:43 PM

you guys think dark = best applies to the silver Z as well?

Casey@AEperformance · 12-09-2009, 07:58 PM

I am definitely contradicting myself here, but done right, black on silver or gray can be hard as hell too!

Bee-R or LMGT4. Most like LMGT4. Sizing sucks for Z34.

Olive Green. Do it.

Rob@Altered · 12-10-2009, 09:23 AM

I would go with either the Black Mirror, or something similar to the GT-R rim colors. I would also think about maybe painting a few small interior pieces to match whatever color you decide for your rims. I think that would make a nice color scheme.
