Default Just recently got my orange Z

It's a 2007 with only 20k miles. I previously owned a 02' 330ci BMW, this car is a lot more fun.

It's either hit or miss with the color for some people, it's growing on me though I need black rims I think.

Anyway! Looks like a good forum.

Maybe some gloss black vinyl on the roof and lower part of the front grill to compliment your new black rims to come and it'll look hot

linea corse? Isn't that rota? I think the piaa that you have right now are more expensive, just bad offsets.

My fav color, probably going to paint mine like that.

Wheels, bright silver is best IMO, black is boring , especially compaired to the nice not so boring paint job the car has. Gold or a brighter bronze may set of well too.

these piaa are so severely damaged its crazy, I think the previous owner aimed for every pothole.

I need to replace them

With the black roof and black front grill would look good....

Nice car!
I ordinarily don't like orange.You are right.
Its hit or miss/like it or not like it.
IMO,the Z does not need a hot color to hide behind.
I'd get tired of this color in no time.
I kinda like the rims on your car.
What size are they?From the pics,the rear
tires look too small for the width of the wheel.
I'm guessin those rears are around 10.5 wide.
If you do go with new rims,I stay away from black
unless you are big on Halloween.Black will look dull
on a orange car.The combo you now have-dark gunmetal
with polished rims looks good.Offsets need work.
