Idk if this is the right section sorry if its not. I have these 18" Altima Chromies on the Z came on the car but they cheap coating is flaking off and i want to sand them and paint them. Im stuck between black and grey and what would look better with my paint code. Like some input on guys who have had to decide or what not! As you can see my other car is blacked out and i did those wheels over 3 years ago and the paint is still 95% on just a few small chips.

Everyone has they're own color preference so this question can only be answered by you. Afterall, your the one who's going to be driving the car. But a GTR gunmetal will look cool.

Sounds like the unanimous choice found some dupli color gunmetal metallic at the local parts store $8 a can so prolie get some of that.
Im gonna sand the entire wheel and get all the flakes of fake chrome off and blow all the particles out and do a few small coats. We have a shed with heat so i can do 2 wheels at a time let them dry i have a 2nd car so i can take time doin it. Thanks guys

I havent had any problems painting wheels. Its all bout the clearcoat not enough they chip a lot easier. Its gonna be temp until i find wheels i like for a good price or i can find stock wheels and paint those but this crap plastic/aluminum chrome is gonna keep chipping.
I do understand your saying and i thank you tho
