changed the car from black to close to SMB
wheels ended up more like black chrome.
Got a new monitor needs to be calibrated so color might be way off.

Hmmm, very nice ^ ^^ ^ looks pretty damn close to SMB or even looks like SMB now. Any possible way of getting the rims closer to gunmetal? I do have a very good idea of what it may look like though Thanks vex

nvm, just saw your album. do you have a good front angled shot of your car like the picture above? And what is your set up? Offsets? Tire sizes? did you have to roll your fenders?

Bronze would look better on a blue car I think.

My spec is 18x8.5F +25 and 18x9.5R +20, with 245/40, 275/40, and BC Coilovers
With this offset, of coz no roll required.
But deciding adding either 15 or 20mm to front, and 10mm to the rear
Should have get the +12 offset

Damn, +12s would be pretty crazy lol. I'm guessing you would have to get some massive fender pull on the front? And then get your rears rolled

Here it is...

And nope, I do not think +12 require any fender roll especially for the front, since our Z front is already have some kind of factory rolled.
But again, it all depends on your drop, as well as your tire size.

I am adding 10mm to the rear, and 20mm to the front (so +10 rear, +5 front)

Hmmm, looks nice. I honestly dont even mind which color I get anymore.. not really atleast lol. I guess its whichever seller can give me the better deal. I kind of want the gunmetal more, but its not to the point where I'll take them over a better deal with bronze

Alright, I'll make sure to make a final decision after checking out your pics and after checking them out in person. I'm going to go look at the bronze ones tonight

CR kais in gunmetal look cheap to me for some reason, off the car the bronze look better. But on a black Z maybe gunmetal will look better.
