    Default help with wheel color

    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)




    gunmetal wheels with the same setup front as i want. flows better huh? but the gold looks SO much better!







    THE LIP PORTION OF MY WHEELS ARE POLISHED, THE PICTURE IN MY SIG WAS BEFORE I CLEANED AND POLISHED LOL

    imo i would go with the gold cause it would stand out more but is your car plus gun metal are cool but the rims on your sig would look hella good in gold

    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

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

    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.
