a guy around here has done it, it looks like crap and he regrets it, if ANYTHING go for a hyper silver/darker silver with shine.

imo, keep it stock, those are my favorite nissan wheels.

Check with a local machine shop about getting them powdercoated. Most of the time you can get that done for about $25~$40 per wheel.

You could sell your stockers and buy some aftermarket Black w/ pollished lip wheels.

I also love those OEM z33 wheels.

Never understood the whole "black wheel" thing...looks to me like your driving around on stock steel wheels, missing your hubcaps !! Don't know...that's my 2cents worth.
