Im planning on painting my car lexus IS300 pearl white (or is there a OEM nissan pearl white thats about the same color?) and Im debating on whether to paint some 7 spoke alloys gunmetal w/ custom lip or bronze. Ive seen a "champion white" 240sx with bronze rims...hot. But I havent seen a pearl white 240sx with gunmetal alloys.

which would you choose? (I know its personal preference, but I want to see who would choose what.)

Infiniti and Nissan have offered a Pearl White (Maxima's, IIRC & Q45's as Ivory Pearl Quartz, but probably pricey due to process and layers).

I think gunmetal over bronze.

Though Silver is HOT as well. He lists his car as "Ivory White".

Ah, thats nice. I'll probably paint the alloys and dont paint the outter rim to have a little alloy lip.

It's all about a white car and bronze rims. Not exactly what you were asking for but you get the general idea for color reference. (at least I don't have a$$-crap side skirts like those with a zenki lip...damn ricers)
