My Candy Apple Red Wheels

[D8NMT]

I've recently had my wheels refurbed and powder coated Candy Apple red.

 

I love them!

 

Anyway, I thought others may be interested to see them on the car, i've never seen red wheels on a silver Z before so it was a bit of a risk, but i'm so glad i did it.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

Can't say I like them, sorry :/ However I think that's more due to the fact I detest the basic OEM wheels.

 

Love the colour though

I think your bolts need to be black - or the nissan badge needs to be silver, too many different colours!

 

Definitely stands out though!

Yeah it stands out!

 

Not sure I understand what you mean? At the moment the Nissan badges are silver? Which matches the wheel bolts (and the car!)

Sorry I meant the black surround on the Nissan centre cap - just think it would look better if your bolts matched this. Personal preference of course! I used to paint my 911 wheels yellow in Gran Turismo

TBH, I'm not keen on the Rays but I guess it's horses and all that.

 

OP - Brave colour BTW!

Believe it or not these are already on my ebay 'watch' list! along with a couple of other red details

you're not the first, nurrish did his a few years ago and we all took the pi$$, but his were more pink.

 

i'm not a fan, wasn;t then and still not now. but i'm old and grumpy and not down with the kids, so my opinion doesnt count.

I think it looks good buddy, it just needs a few more red bits just to tie it in though 👊

I think if they were rays and had a more anodised look it could look quite good.

Been watching these for a while but undecided. These and red wheel nuts

[Jetpilot]

I like coloured wheels, but, think you need some dish and a silver/polished lip to really pull it off

On a track/drift car with a bodykit, aftermarket wheels and matching accents/stickers maybe. But standard wheels on a standard body isn't for me sorry

Agree with Irfan,

 

To go bold and pull it off my personal opinion is you need a bigger set of aftermarket wheels.

 

Good effort though, you will always divide opinion when trying something a bit different. I personally dislike gloss black wheels too but look how popular they are.

 

As long as you like them it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks

bonnet needs to go red to!

I like the colour but I think you need better wheels & a few body mods to pull it off

Yep I have had mixed feedback on them! But I like them, they have really grown on me.

 

Hopefully the car will have a few more little red touches over the next few weeks too.

 

I'm not a fan of big bodykits etc but wanted to do something different, that would stand out!

 

Cheers for the feedback everyone, I didn't put the photos up in the hope everyone would praise the car, I just thought people would enjoy seeing something different!

 

I will add some more pics once my other 'red bits' arrive :-)
