Im not too fond of my current wheels, but since i have spacers all around and i only traded stock 300zx wheels for them, they arent too bad untill i get some 527s. Im getting kind of tired of these though, and im considering painting them in the mean time for a nicer look

Im stuck between three options. Gunmetal/Graphite, bronze, or gloss black

Ive tossed the idea of different color spokes/lip, but the front lip is too small for this to look right, so solid color it is

Can anyone with free time do a quick color of my wheels in either of those three colors? Im really leaning twards graphite (either light or dark), not so much gloss black (not too big of a fan), but possibly bronze, i just dont know if bronze will look right on these wheels.

these may not be the best pictures to photoshop, but i don't really have any other decent ones

thanks in advance

I can't photoshop however i can tell you although overdone bronze or Near gold would like good with the white paint,

graphite/gunmetal looks alright but it is not me,reminds me too much of black,and i only really like it on cars that are murdered out


my favorite wheel color is this (off my old hatch)

Agreed, Gold is a little over played here in Cali but it looks the best on a white car, also bronze. Gunmetal/graphite looks best on a darker colored car.

Thing is with gold, i would want chrome/polished lips, and the lips up front are too small to rock it. Also, i think gold is too flashy for these wheels, at least the fronts. The sizes and offsets are WEAK. 17x9 +35 in the back, and 17x7 +45 up front :eek:
The only reason they sit half decent is because im running 25mm spacers up front, and 15mm in the rear.

Im liking bronze or gunmetal for these because they are dark and dont pop out too much, yet can still look clean. Especially since the duplicolor wheel paint in graphite or bronze have a little flake in them, and a nice mixture of satin and gloss.

Gold would be awesome if i had RG2's or some nice wheels, but for these, i dont want flashy lol

yeah i know bronze will look nice, but im not sure how it will come out. I know it comes out darker if you use a black base coat, which im guessing you did, or it looks like it by the picture. But i also think graphite will look real nice, either with a black base coat or not. It will go with the white/black exterior of my car

im suprised nobody has photoshopped the colors yet lol. Like two years ago people would do this in a heart beat

I am also not sure of the bronze will look right on my wheels. It usually goes nice on a white car, but i think i would need concave to rock it

this is what the graphite looks like
