Decided to go with the 350z track wheels after alot of thought, took off the heavy touring wheels I had on and the car feels sooo much better. These wheels are 8 pounds lighter each. I may paint them black, any opinions? I also have eibach sportline springs and wheel spacers waiting to be put in.

I've always loved the original track model rims but have never like the colour, painting sounds like a good option (powder coating sounds even better!).

Leave 'em silver. Looks good with your silver/cleared trim.

I like powder coating, black or a gunmetal would look sweet, matches your CF lip.

+1 for the lights in the front bumper side reflectors. Where did you get those?

He just lost 8lbs per wheel, I don't think painting them is going to ruin that Richie.

Its either leave them the way they are, or powder coat them black. The lights on the bumper I found on ebay, they are very bright at night.

I like the new wheels and the lights in the bumper, but you really need to get rid of that big eye sore of an antenna and get a s2k one! I would recommend it to anyone

I'd leave the wheels the color they are...they match the door handle.

If you feel you need to paint, gun metal or graphite always works in my book. Black has no definition, and with black tires, the wheel wells will look empty and actually draw your eye there and not at the car.

Right now, natural looks best.
