Need help: wheel colour, what's best?

[justinfox]

Hi all,

I want to paint my wheels (perhaps). What do you think is best? Original silver, gold/bronze or gunmetal?

Original

Gold

Gunmetal

Gunmetal

[Villainous_J]

I'm a stickler for tradition, go the silver

[Guest RedLineGTR]

i like gun metal..but thats me...what about white?? cant tell from the pics that well but maybe get them polished up (bling bling) but in the end its your car

[ron]

my opinion would be to find a set of R32 GTR stockies and lower a little.

or alternatively find some TE37's

okay go the white dude

gold.. but make sure you get em powder coated.. no cheap ass can jobbie

[justinfox]

I always intended to get stock wheels but these BBS LM wheels are meant to be pretty awesome. Lightweight, respected the world over and they're 9inches wide!!! (stock wheels are only 8 inch wide and they're 16's too right?). So it's a tough decision. These are great wheels but I do think I like the stock wheels better. Japanese wheels for a Jap car, not German wheels (although the V-Spec comes with BBS wheels too right?)! I am really beginning to confuse myself here!

gold!

[letsgodriftin]

GOLD without a doubt they look heaps classier

[sammus]

i like the gunmetal... q?: do your fronts pretrude out from the guards?

[ABuSD]

gold, definately the gold!

[Elithrar]

The gold doesn't look so good with the silver sides.

Gunmetal, on the other hand, looks sweet with those tyres. What are they? Pirellis? Falkens?

[Elithrar]

Gold doesn't look so good with the silver sides. Gunmetal is my preference over what you've shown, but I have a fetish for white wheels - especially with those tyres you have on your car.

What are they? Pirellis? Falkens?

[knore]

gunmetal looks tough

[Rezz]

Gunmetal. Why don't you go black? Black would look alot tougher against the paintwork.

[justinfox]

Front wheels do not protrude out from the guards at all... although the car has stock suspension and I agree... needs a tiny bit of lowering (I don't want too harsh a ride.. been there, done that... sick of it).

YOKOHAMA GRAND PRIX tyres.

Rezz: I thought of black.. of-course. I have ALWAYS wanted black wheels. Feels risky to paint them black though for some reason. I wish this decision was easier

[d0p3y]

paint the center gunmetal the same as the car and lower it a little (you can lower it a fair bit without a harsh ride) and it'll look tops

like so:

Cheers for the effort Ryan, looking good. Still confused! :headspin:

[KamikazeR33]

[sammus]
