Opinions on rim color on a yellow Z

initialgemini · 02-03-2010, 11:34 AM

What do you think looks better, Advan RS-D in silver or flat black on a CY Z?

If I go with flat black i'm thinking about getting a yellow pinstrip around the lip. I can't really visualize it, so I was wondering what everyone else's opinions are.

have you seen KillerBee's setup with the Axis wheels? Black with yellow pinstripes?

shamelessly stolen from tanabe's website:

no, it's not the RS-D, but since you're only looking for color opinions, it works well enough. imo, silver looks funny on a yellow car.

I think flat black would probably look pretty sweet

Like Tony's TE37's

Yeah,

I've been eyeing his car for sometime. I don't know what his specs are for his rims.
I'm looking to go with 20s, but i'd really like to see what they look like first.

Flat black will look incredible with the pin stripe..

We can show that....in Yellow.....thanks to tooohip! He took the blue Volk & Rays stickers off.

E-boner!

Paul_S · 02-04-2010, 06:27 AM

Flat black would be my choice. I would also consider a dark gunmetal (to match the calipers?)

I love those Volks but I priced them up the other day and it's just toooo much in the UK. The Axis look good - I would have to copy and go for the pinstripe too!

Who else makes flat black 19" wheels with the right offsets?

Paul_S · 02-04-2010, 07:09 AM

Axis Super Hiro's anybody?

That looks pretty nice. But I wonder if that picture was taken with the stock spring height?

2theextreme · 02-04-2010, 11:16 AM

I would say it most likely is.

initialgemini · 02-04-2010, 11:21 AM

I'm pretty set with going with a flat black look.
But, I'm debating what the difference is between a 20" and 19" set-up.

The axis rims are nice, but they only come in 19"

I'm also wondering how awkward would a 20" or 19" set up look on stock height.

Can anyone chime in?

phelan · 02-04-2010, 11:30 AM

at least get some springs...

Isn't a stock 370 with Sport & Touring going to show what the stock setup with 19's look like? I believe Sport with Touring comes with 19's from the factory. If so......here's mine stock:

And here it is after the BR coilovers and RE-11's were added....they are 19's:

Not sure about the 20's, tho....but I know there are def members on this board that are running 20's on their Z's.

well in my case its either I go with coilovers first, then rims later. But if I can get away with rims without a drop, then i'd do that.. lol
