D8NMT Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I have owned my Z for a few months now and carried out a few small modifications, next on my list is to have the wheels re-furbished and powder coated. I quite fancy a colour change, but i'm not sure what to go for (my car is silver) What are people's opinions? I'm thinking of going for a gloss gun metal/anthracite colour, but any suggestions are welcome? Any pictures of this colour on a silver z would be appreciated. Here is my car as she is now : http://www.flickr.co...N02/7772560038/ Options are: 1 - High power silver 2 - Gun metal Grey Wildcard - Gloss candy Red! UPDATE!! I've been playing on photoshop, i've uploaded some image below as I thought it would be helpful for people trying to decide! This is my first go on photoshop so they may not be the best! I think i'm going to go for the gun metal grey! Gun Metal : Black: Crazy Red: and Pink! thanks Edited May 3, 2013 by D8NMT Quote
Pnthrblkzs Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I'm in the same position at the moment, my Zed is silver with the Ray's and due to corrosion i want them refurbished. I like the combination of anthracite wheels on Silver cars normally but also like the Rays in their standard colour. This thread may help you to decide.. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64194-350gt-with-refurbed-wheels/ Quote
Keyser Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Green - its the new black I wonder how well the red would go? More conservatively go with GM or darker I don't think silver would look good. Quote

ddcboyle Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Gloss candy red would look cool if you had other little bits red, i.e. wing mirrors. You can pull off crazy stuff when your driving a classy looking car Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I had gunmetal on my blade, loved them I can supply Rota Grid or Varrstoen at affordable prices or more options depending on budget. Drop me an email if I can help Quote
D8NMT Posted October 19, 2012 Author Posted October 19, 2012 I need a photoshop of my car with red wheels! If it looks good then i'll do it! Quote
Jay Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 If I am going to be honest mate....... I would try and pick up some rays 18 alloys..... so you can still use your current tyres as they look sooo much better imo AND then paint them candy red Quote

ewan221 Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 And the Zed with anthracite, but darker Quote
S1 HNK Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 You're a braver man than me if you paint your wheels red but for that very reason, go for it! You'll certainly stand out! Quote
Dblock Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 I need a photoshop of my car with red wheels! If it looks good then i'll do it! Ive got some but wont be able to get good pics till 2 weeks. I could try tonight but it will be dark. Quote
D8NMT Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for the replies and pictures. I think i'm going to go for gun metal grey, I will put some pictures up once complete :-) Now onto the next decision.... Coilovers or springs! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Gunmetal will look excellent, let us know if we can also help with the suspension too, springs and coilovers both available from us, we can also fit them too - http://cougarstore.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_9 1 Quote

I've purchased springs for cars in the past that claim a 30 or 40mm drop and look no different! I was looking at APEX or Eibach, but i understand the APEX ones lower slightly more? Thanks Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 No problem at all, both the Eibach and Apex have a drop of 30mm, after supplying and fitting the Eibachs I would say they have the most realistic drop, we have seen a Zed with Apex springs fitted too... The Eibachs are also tried and tested many times over and the quality of Eibach has always been excellent... Quote

Excellent - I have heard nothing but good things about the Eibach's, so it sounds like they are worth paying a bit more for. Thanks for the info Quote
