Default What to do with a La Mans Sunset?

I just bought my 350z, its a 2003 enth. The stock rims have some serious scuffs and I wanna replace em' but I'm not sure with what. My car is LeMas Sunset and I'm wondering first what is the best rim finish to go with this color. At first I was thinking gunmetal, but now may go with polished silver, or hyper black: Anybody know the cleanest finish?

Also I was looking at the BBS RGR's in 19's, but then found that these are alittle outta my price range, any ideas on what has a similar look at a smaller price tag?

Thanks Guys!

Whatever I get, I think I will go with a 5 spokes rim. imho, the 350z doesn't look too good with high numbers of spokes, unless you are going all out body kits and making the 350Z bling bling.

i have been considering the racing hart CR Multi's in dark silver. not sure if
these are in your price range, but i'm thinking dark silver to match my redline.
a good compromise if you want to go darker but not too dark. they also have
these same wheels in one piece for much cheaper; almost half the price as the
multi's over at modacar.com.

they are 18's and 19's in dark silver, gold and graphite.

here's a link...

heres what i chose out of your price range but just so you see the color, i think black on LS is the best, sleek, sporty and goes really well when you tint the car

id go with lemans sunset colored. i saw a guy a few weeks ago who had a lemans sunset and some axis seven mods. they were 19s and he had taken em to a local bodyshop and had them paint the spokes lemans sunset. it looked really good. im actually thinking bout doing that myself on a set of wheels to see what it looks like on my car. i think that would look sweet and not too many ppl do that kinda stuff.

Black is too harsh a color for the LeMans, IMO....go with silver..that way ppl notice the beautiful car color and NOT focus on the stark contrast of the black rims...Again, just my observations...other's will think the opposite.
