I'm sure some people won't agree with my taste in rims, but I needed a little less gunmetal. I like the contrast with the black. I debated for awhile about getting the centers in silver or gunmetal. Still don't know which I would like better, but I don't think it looks bad. Just need to wash the car now and take some more pics.

Hey Brik, congraz......ur NISMO really looks awesome. No matter what color u decide on ur center caps, it will still look gorgeous coz is a BLACK NISMO. I wish I had the MB instead of the SA that I purchased from Jenkins Nissan.

Again, love it man~~~~ Looks sooo mean!!!! HAhahah.....LoL

I actually meant the spokes of the wheel, or "disc unit" per Rays. I looked forever for pics of a black Nismo with GT-V's or GT-S's in RMC, gunmetal, and silver for comparison, but never found any. Plus it's hard to get a true sense of what a wheel will look like in person compared to a photo. I just went with the gunmetal since I found some for sale instead of waiting 3 months to have them made.

That looks good. The color matches well with the diffuser and sides.

I thought you were sick of the gunmetal though. Aren't those volks gunmetal?

The wheels look great with the Nismo. Keep the stock rims though just in case, you know what Im saying.

Straight gunmetal versus a polished lip with gunmetal is different to me. I really did consider silver for awhile though, but thought that perhaps the gunmetal would match with the lip and side skirts. The other fact of waiting for 3 months for silver, and not even being sure it would look good weighed a little into the decision.

for some reason i love the NISMO Z so much how it looks stock. it doesnt need to be changed one bit. i would only recommend slamming it and it would be even more hottt. to me it doesnt seem the same with aftermarket wheels on it

I like the new wheels: it looks different and still matches the stock trim colors well.

I've been messing around with the idea of Volk GT-F in either gold or MDC+Black...but the gunmetal might be a decent option, too.

I'd hold onto the stock wheels: you may plan to keep the car forever right now, but if you change youo mind in 5 years, it'll be a lot easier to sell it bone stock than it will will 3rd party wheels, no matter how cool or expensive those wheels are.

Agreed, down the road I'm going to get a second set of rims to exchange when i'm wearing them on the tracks, but that also means that i would still keep and use the original, after all, its limited, and thats why I bought the NISMO.

Tint and wash. Waiting for some good weather for pics outside. And yes I know it needs to be dropped. Let me know when someone has some experience with coilovers on a Nismo.

Your car is spectacular. Personally, I prefer the stock rims, but the replacements look good, too. I am so envious. Take good care of her.

Not bad, but we all know they didn't need an upgrade.
