D8NMT Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) 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 Edited May 29, 2013 by D8NMT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikesding Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I think your bolts need to be black - or the nissan badge needs to be silver, too many different colours! Definitely stands out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the colour though TBH, I'm not keen on the Rays but I guess it's horses and all that. OP - Brave colour BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 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.

ninjaz Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I think it looks good buddy, it just needs a few more red bits just to tie it in though í ½í± Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I think if they were rays and had a more anodised look it could look quite good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I like coloured wheels, but, think you need some dish and a silver/polished lip to really pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you like them it doesn't really matter what anyone else thinks 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 :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
