Welcome to NICO

Honestly I cant see spending the money on an aftermarket wheel if you are only going to by 16" wheels.

As for colors that go well with Precision Grey, I really like gunmetal wheels.

Here is a pic of mine

They look so badass, I love your coupe bmore ....I finally found a set on fleabay tonight, so I can't wait to see what they look like on a radiant silver coupe .......also Coupe guy, if your are set on getting 16"s I would go with black. Usually solid black wheels will look bigger than they really are.

Awesome, did you find them in gunmetal or silver? I think either would look good on silver

Welcome to the NICO Family Tommy. I see that you're from LA. What part of LA do you stay in? You missed a great Get Together that we held at Stillen on the 18th of this month. Always great to see a fellow A/C member from the LA area.

GUNMETAL!! FTW lol im excited to have found some.

It's one of those things; once I saw those wheels on a coupe I knew I wouldn't be happy if I settled for anything other than those wheels on my car.

IMO gunmetal is king on almost any color. I also thought that once you put some tireshine on the wheels look bigger. Atleast they did with the convenience package wheels

hey bmore....what size tire are you running? I cant decide if I should go 245-35-19 or 245-45-19. I'm not getting a really high performance tire, I just want one that will last a long time. So I would rather have them more meaty.

thanks

If you like gunmetal and do not want to spend over 1600 for some new wheels, I have my set up for sale in LA.
