Default Snapped some quickies of the Z minus the chrome. I love it!

Ditched the ill fitting chrome twenties and dropped in a Skunk2 5/8 plenum spacer and K&N. I think I'm addicted to performance now. Not to mention the car looks ten times better on the stockers. In case you were wondering, it started out as a Silverstone. I had it painted PPg Gunmetal and added a lavender pearl. The pearl only comes out in overcast skies or the right lighting. You can see a little here. Yea I know the car's dirty, but its cold as hell.

What rims would look good on my car?

Do they come in a plain silver? Anything else is going to look weird with this color. Edited pics to bring out the pearl...

I like that paint, very subtle, but you can tell it is there.

I agree with some posters, te37's would look nice.

Thanks for the comments guys. When you guys say aggressive wheels, do you mean styling or fitment? I know it doesn't look complete Rome, but I'm kinda leaning toward performance now rather than looks. I think I may be an ex-ricer.

sweet, then take off the kit
Sorry but I really dislike that kit especially the FB
I think the paint is sweet though, would have to really see it in person

BTW I think they mean style and offset
