Default red 350z roadster black or chrome rims?

Just got a new 05 candy apple red 350z roadster and i love it!! It came with some black 18" american racing or something like that rims. They are all right but I'm definately looking for a upgrade and update.... I kinda like the black rims with the red car look but I like the chrome look too.

Right now I'm thinking the Avant Garde # AVG-M341 black rims with red caliper covers.

What rims would you put on a candy apple red roadster??

Chrome wheels and painted base calipers are frowned upon.

Red Z's look hot with black rims - especially with dark tinted windows.

No Chrome! American Racing wheels? What a downgrade from the OEM wheels given. Find yourself a nice set of used volks, I believe there are a few black sets out there.

At least your wheels are tuner style and not Dub style.

Not bad at all!!

Sorry, Jersey. But I'd compliment your ZR in spite of the wheels because its otherwise so hot!!

No offense - everybody is allowed an opinion
