adammitch69 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Evening all, would have posted this sooner but its being too cold to go outside to take some pictures - got them done by 'the wheel specialist' in garforth - quite good work 8/10 but for £200 its good value. I know its a split decision changing the colour but the pics dont do these justice, they still shiny and sparkle but just a darker colour - and I think it goes very well with the black paint - the car looks mean :-) had to reduce pic quality for the web comments please...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Looks good, a different take on the RAYS… If you need some spacers to help give the impression of filled arches and bigger wheels, let me know... Have you got anymore photos, side on shots maybe... Quote
Maccaman Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Some of the shots certainly make them look quite dark (not my cup of tea) but the side shots show them off better Quote

IanS16 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I really like them! You should try and get the door handles done to match Quote
Adriank Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I really like them! You should try and get the door handles done to match That would lok good, i have been wondering about the possibility of doing something to the door handles, but have no idea if anything would look better than the silver on a sunset!

U kidding? Didnt you see the guy with the sunset the other week, who had gloss black handles?? That was one of the coolest mods i've seen! Will try and find the link... Quote
Darren-B Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Get some spacers! im sure that will finish it off, looks goog though Quote

CF covers would look great too, if they go with other CF bits, like b-pillar covers, hood etc. Sunset is the best color for CF touches imo. Quote
Sarnie Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I like. Just needs another £350's worth of spacers and lowering springs now Quote
adammitch69 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 yeah need to get some spacers on it to fill the arches. then obviously a 25mm drop would look better so both are on my todo list. Had a Clio 182 previously and really liked the anthracite wheels - plus it makes my roadster a little different from the rest but without standing out a mile away. The gold brembos look really good against the darker wheels too. Centers are done to match too - least i think they are, will check tomorrow. Quote
IanS Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Looking good. Definately suits the black zed Quote
Rob_Quads Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Not a fan myself. Think a gloss black might have been better suited Quote
adammitch69 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 I looked at gloss black - but they looked too 'street racer/track day' - the gloss black wheels on the 911 GT3 look sh1t IMHO also removed the 350z badge from the back which adds a bit more mystery to the car as there are a lot of people who have no idea what it is - had some muppet accuse my of owner a Boxster... how rude!!!

S1 HNK Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 like em mate, although i have to say that because its the same finish as on my Nismos. Regarding the door handles, i asked them and they said they might struggle because of the thickness of the powdercoating which may upset the fitment of them. I am going to go down soon so they can have a look at them and i may get them done to match. Quote
Indyzed Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Looks really good. Those wheels would look hot on a white Z as well. Spacers would finish it off to perfection. Quote
