Pick my rim color for me [NISMO]

Knives · 05-14-2010, 11:13 PM

I'll prob get killed for it, but in all honesty I enjoy seeing bold colors on rims. Like the Porsche GT3, with either orange, red or green rims. That is if you have the balls to do it, I did not.

Safer route, I'd go with that gunmetal color Minicobra has on his Nismo wheels.

post em up when you do choose. I have a PG and I am still stuck between gloss and flat black on mine. Yay test subject thats not me. I cant decide but it would be an exspensive mistake to make.

i was going to go with flat black but then i saw that deep deep smoke color on the gtr wheels... it was just hard to find a powder to match... but as soon as i got home from selecting the Argento 314 metallic at the shop as being the closest match. i got on this forum and saw that Mike who does powder coating said that its pretty close just confirmed my choice!!!!

I will def. post pics when done. that should be by thurs....

Thats nice. I was thinking a dark gray of some type. The GTR wheel color is sick.

I vote black chrome, and I have been told I have good taste.

This is Tiger Drylac Argento 314 powdercoat no clear coat....
sorry for the crappy iphone pics... look at all the mounting wax they had to use LOL

WheelTrends · 06-15-2010, 12:05 PM

Def go with the Black Chrome, Clean finish is the way to go for sure..

ZPirate · 09-15-2010, 06:35 PM

Equinox, did you ever get your Nismo wheels painted/powdercoated?

ZPirate · 09-22-2010, 08:57 PM

Anyone know if Equinox painted or powder coated his wheels?

Jose Aliling · 09-23-2010, 10:50 AM

black mirror or black chrome for me..

Johnny Reb · 02-11-2011, 07:12 PM

I really dig the GT-R wheel color. In fact, I will have my G35 19" Rays powder coated soon. Great info on the make and code for the powder coat. Thanks.

HKYStormFront · 02-11-2011, 07:55 PM

i can confirm K11 is the paint code for GTR's and 350z nismo's. my girlfriend got the lower trim of her new rear bumper on her 350z painted K11 and it matched my friend's nismo 350's trim perfectly

Johnny Reb · 02-11-2011, 10:00 PM

Yesterday, I called painter Makito about GT-R wheel paint/color. He has not painted K11 on any wheels yet, however, he was interested. Several years ago, he painted a spoiler for me and the quality of work was second to none. Well, this weekend, it looks like I will be removing my 19'' Rays from the Z....and will temporarily replace them with my stock 17''

HKYStormFront · 02-11-2011, 10:44 PM

johnny please post a pic once it's done, my gf has the 19" infiniti rays on her '05 black vert as well, i'd like to see how that color looks on the wheels. they are currently painted black but we are tossing around them idea of getting the powdercoated either black or another color.

edit: i attached a pic fresh out of the body shop so you can see what i'm talking about on the rear bumper (chargespeed replica).
