Keviswatt Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Getting my wheels powder coated and cant decide on colour. Worried a dark colour makes the rear tyre look huge!! Opinions? Kev Quote
samsniss350z Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I've only seen Rays either totally black, standard gunmetal and i have seen a set that someone had had chromed. i suppose the only other option is to buy another set of wheels with black centres and polished rims, a bit more expensive than a powder coat though .

S1 HNK Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Someone has had this done but can't remember who! Looks good though. Quote
gringo Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Sam.....did the chrome rays look good......I'm considering this option myself as one of my first mods. Quote
Dave_the_Rave Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22529-powdercoated-rays-spacers-now-with-pics/ Looks amazing but up keep of a polished lip sounds painful want mine done the same! Quote
Dave-350 Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Getting my wheels powder coated and cant decide on colour. Worried a dark colour makes the rear tyre look huge!! Opinions? Kev IMO that is a good thing! I always thought the wheels were out of proportion, and going to 19" wasnt an option for me as I wanted it to handle well. Mine are done in a graphite with silver flake. Not rays but tourings. Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I love black but the negaitive comments I got were numerous. Not that I give a plonk what anyone else says,but it did look as though there were big gaps in the car. From a distance it looked like someone had pinched the wheels! A red rim may cure that! Quote
kris Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) My old zed with the centres blended from shadow chrome (I think??) into silver: This was before fitting front spacers: It looked alot better in the flesh tbh. Edited March 14, 2013 by kris Quote
stuarty Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Wheels look awesome. I love the rays, best wheels for a zed imo! I hate black wheels, makes the car look like the wheels are missing from a distance! 1 Quote
gringo Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Wheels look fantastic.....that's convinced me......I'm going Chrome! Quote
buster Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 old one of mine before i changed the wheels 1 Quote
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I love the look of your car buster. Best looking of the gingers hands down 1 Quote
14N Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I love the look of your car buster. Best looking of the gingers hands down I do agree Ninja. But with the recent re-paint of the front bumper, re-paint and change of wheels, different side skirts and removal of the rear spoiler, it does look a bit different now! Still a looker though Quote
4RE Leather Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 I am going to have a different colour for each wheel. Blue/Red/Black and white. Quote
