Andymac183 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm getting my Rays 18's refurbished and painted next week, and am having trouble deciding on colours. The car is going down an 'all-black' route already as I've de-badged (except black burger badges) and done the windows and door handles too. I was thinking satin or matt black, or is this TOO much? Does anyone have this combination already? How does it look? And dipping them carbon - awesome, or tacky? Show me your black zeds with interesting wheels!

BobbyZ Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think all black might be alright, but black chrome or something like that would be my choice for something dark. I would personally steer clear of the carbon dipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Shadow Chrome looks good mate - dark but with a chrome finish so it gleams when the light hits it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-G- Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Black and Blue! Side milled spokes are almost impossible to replicate though, esp on something as narrow as Rays. Chirags wheels look amazing. That could work well with rays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Follow in Chirags wheel steps, they look great and would work on Rays too. Try google images too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-G- Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 a nice matt gold looks good on black. not like a subaru gold. I immediately thought of Bronze TE37 Ultras and coincidentally enough, here's a Stillen Supercharged one with exactly that! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andymac183 Posted January 8, 2016 Author Share Posted January 8, 2016 I love that bronze...I think its coming down to between that, Shadow Chrome, or matt black/red lip...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I love that bronze...I think its coming down to between that, Shadow Chrome, or matt black/red lip...! The only thing I'd say with all black is that you may lose the features of the wheels as they may get lost in the arches. That's why I went for shadow chrome as they have that finish, but the bronze also looks good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Loads of colours work as the photos show, but they all have one thing in common, none of them are std rays, which you dont get the same effect with a colour change due to the design/size imho. Keep them silver and put the refurb money and sale price towards some wheels that show off a decent colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the rims on post 27 His rims were a lovely Matt dark grey with red lip. Red calipers would then of course be mandatory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black with anthracite rays and it actually looks pretty good http://www.driftworks.com/forum/drift-cars-sale-private-sales/244326-2004-nissan-350z.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave572 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Here is my black on black zed. Currently satin black but may go for gloss black wheels next . Edited January 11, 2016 by dave572 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickettone Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Black and Blue! Side milled spokes are almost impossible to replicate though, esp on something as narrow as Rays. Chirags wheels look amazing. That could work well with rays. What wheels are these? Sorry if it's been said already. As my z is black and I've got my engine bay dressed in blue and these will be exactly what I need. Thanks in advance.
