What does everyone think of that idea?I know it sounds kinda cheap but I think it might look great.May also neagte the need I currently feel for Nismo Wheels at a fraction of the cost.

I think that might look real good with the DB.here is a link to some pics of ym car if anyone wants to try photoshop or just see what the stock wheels look like on DB.

I'm not sure about the Bronze look? I wanted to powder coat my Spec V wheel a gunmetal color last year and the price was ok. I think it was going to cost about $50.00 per wheel.

The OEM Z wheels look good and would look better with a quality powder coat job. It would make yours different from the others that's for sure.

They look good but also heavy+ expensive.

Maybe the nismo LGMT4's instead?

The stockers bronzed looks pretty good. But those others that jEzTeR posted are just plain HOT.

Yeah that Super Black looks great(when it's clean). 2005 has Yellow as a option color(extra $500.00).

Check out http://www.nissanusa.com/ for all colors and options.

Fred ended up getting a set of 18" G35c wheels that were painted. I hope they look as good as they sound.
