Black 350z Rays refurb - What colour, and what about my nuts?

Hey guys, I'm hopefully getting my Rays refurbed next week, the previous owner seems to have used them for rulers to see how close he can grind them against the curb before he feels it :drive1:bang::wheelchair:.

 

Anyways, I'm stuck on colours. I'm thinking either Anthracite/Shadow chrome sort of look, or a bronze in like a TE37 style - I toyed with crazy DARK purples but thought it was a bit much to be honest and nobody liked it eventually talking me out of it.

 

My car is black, and STOCK ride height, without spacers.

 

Here are some pics of the sort of styles I like, ignoring the fact ones an Evo with different wheels - I just like the colour!

 

Not sure if one of you fancy computer wizards can photoshop the car to be black, or maybe easier the wheel colour onto a black Z?

 

After that, what about my nuts? :lol:

Can anyone recommend me some Bronze coloured nuts to match the Brembo's or at least close to it? Not familiar with brands and whatnot, only recently finding out that some don't fit the weird holes for the rays??? #NEWB

Personally I don't think that bronze but would go with either anthracite or bronze wheels buddy.

Why not go for just black one or crazy and get neo chrome ones.

In fact I might have some neo chromes u might like :)

Would certainly look nice against some anthracite wheels.

I quite liked this look tbh, and not a fan of the Neo Chrome look, sorry bud :(

My brother jokingly said go crazy and showed me these... I sorta dig it, but I'm not quite ballsy enough to pull them off outside of Need For Speed/Forza

Well that's true, yours is the only purple 350z I've seen, and I bloody love it, but my SO doesn't dig it :p

 

P.S I added the pics I was referring to properly now, so have another look :p

 

Thanks man that means a lot to me. What's your SO?

 

Pics look good but I think a dark bronze/brown would look good against black.

 

Guy i know has a black 370 with Matt bronze te37 and they look really good.

SO meaning the same as OH , basically a nice way of saying girlfriend or boyfriend haha ( Significant Other and Other Half, my favourite, the B&C - Ball and Chain )

 

I'm definitely thinking of the bronze/brown ish as an option now, just a matter of not chickening out now :S

 

Has he got any pics on the forum? or can you get any for me? Just curious :)

Te37's are anodised so you will struggle to match. If you like Rota bronze though they are painted/powder coated so you should be able to find a code somewhere.

 

Purple is a great colour, had my Volks Sf Winnings done purple on black, but you will struggle to pull it off on std rays imho.

 

Fortune favours the brave however ;)

Ah that would explain their frankly nuts price ;) But the quality must be outstanding :) I figured the paint shop can whack up something I like, have a sit down and show them all the pics :)

 

I agree that on Rays purple won't look right, but on something bolder than my stock car, just maybe. Lowered, 19's and some body mods would help a lot, but I'm not really into that :p
