^^ yeah, that helps, or just colour match and paint on top of the pin stripe.

colour match as in the colour of the Z for the new owner...not the wheel colour

i say no pinstripe, i think the rim looks better off without it.
you'll be driving the car, do what you think would look best.
regardless of the outcome post pics of the outcome :tup:

well, the center caps are a nice bright silver, so that matches the white Z.


this is making like white Z's now.....urrrgghh

Just another suggestion, have you considered having the entire lip of the wheel color matched to the car?

Wheel paint

I haven't considered this. There really isn't a lip on the F14's, and I wasn't looking for a dramatic change of the look of the wheel, was just considering an accent if you will. Forgestar does the pinstriping from the factory if you order it, so I wanted to consider the option.

I posted in the official photoshop thread for someone handy with PS to photoshop the black wheels on a pearl white Z with and without the pinstripe to get a better idea, but not responses yet!

its tasteful..a lot of exotics with nice rims do that often.

We have one R35 client who planned on acquiring a white GTR; he wanted something different so he went with the white pinstripe...on 24K gold plated Rays wheels.

:wtf2: Wow, can't say that I am going to like that GTR. that is way more bling than I'd ever put on my car.

Wheels are ordered, I'll post pictures when they are installed but don't ask which one I picked ;)

WOW 0.0 gold plated rims...someone has a little too much $$$

Caravanshaka , get some vinyl pin stripe from an autozone or where ever......and tape it on the rim if you like how the pin stripe is...leave it on or get a real pin stripe on the rims

Caravanshaka 07-29-2009 10:44 AM

was hoping to have an update with pictures by now, but Forgestar has taken nearly 8 weeks now with my order...still no tracking number...

Mike@Blackline 07-29-2009 08:01 PM
