ok, can you help me? i have a white 350z, and I either want to paint the wheels Gold, like the volks, OR gunmetal. I was originally going to go with the GOld, but then i thought about the future and i'm already going to instal the carbon fiber air duct and the carbon fiber veilside v1 lipkit on the front bumper, and I was thinking the gunmetal would just let the car flow better since there are some carbon fiber. Or would gold just flow well with those things on the bumper.

gold with airduct and lip (lip in this pic is just flat black)

I've always liked darker wheels better so I'm going to say gunmetal. Although I like bronze a lot too.

sell your wheels and buy those gold advans. That's really hot.

I really want those wheels for my car :D

Here are those same wheels on an MR2. I think white and gold with a polished lip is sex.

id go gunmeteal because it looks like your lip isn't chrome/polished. if thats the case gold would look like crap.

Man, have your wheels painted GOLD, hands down. Also have the orange reflectors in the front bumper tinted black as well as your taillights. Sh!t would be pure sex:idb: The Bucky(Superstar Customs) can make it all happen with quality work!!

What wheels do you have?

If you have multi-piece wheels with fat lips, gold with polished lips no doubt.

if it's OEM or 1 piece, gunmetal or BRONZE.


1 PIECE Volk Gold DOES NOT LOOK GOOD ON the car.

im tinting the orange signal's myself, and for the rear im leaving it :X what you think your the only one who can paint? lol jk jk wheel polishing i cannot do, therefore i take to you mr. bucky soon, very soon. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A PAINTER I WOULD LOVE TO WORK FOR YOU!!!!!
as you know i only do OEM finish quality paints, i just got layed off from the body shop i work at because we were very slow, not slow DEAD lol, and the boss can paint too so......yea. I would be willing to learn to use airbrush :)
