To Black Or Not To Black...

dieselmcore · 06-05-2009, 08:50 AM

The Top secret Titanium took a big bite of the budget this month, so Im forced to postpone the wheels till later on, but till then, I was thinking of painting them in a gloss black finish... what do u guys think? black them out or not? does it look good with the blacked out paint? heres a photoshop pic to help narrow it down...

Painted Wheels:

peace.

Never been a fan of painting OEM wheels. I say don't black.

LOL is that a palace in the background?

I vote no, keep them as is and wait till you can afford some quality wheels. They stockers look good as is and messing with them will just depreciate them IMO.

id say sell me the rims for cheap and get a set of flat black 20s

I think it looks good both ways... but I vote leave them stock for now. It looks stealth enough with that gunmetal look. Sometimes the black on black puts it over the top. But either way... Bad Ass Car!!

I would not paint OEM GTR wheels... I'd just wait to upgrade. Maybe throw on some clear side markers and change the lug nuts to gold so they match the Brembo's...

gold? hmmm, do u think that will look good?

dieselmcore · 06-05-2009, 10:25 AM

dude, i think thats a sick idea

i found these by Titek in Gold... They would REALLY go good with the brakes...

Done Deal DR · 06-05-2009, 10:35 AM

I think thats a much better idea than painting the wheels, go for it! The color match looks pretty good.

Im contacting the vendor as we speak

once again, contribution has its benefits

I would say do everything possible to avoid painting those, especially on a GTR.
