And LMGT4 owners, you are more than welcome to reply (since "beautiful forged RAYS Nismo wheels" also describe LMGT4s).

The wheels are the same color code as the gunmetal body panels... K11. I bought touch up paint to fix the little rock chips etc that the wheels get driving on the interstate. It is a perfect match.

Pics? That sounds like it would look pretty good on a silver Z.

Oh well, time to go to www.rimdoctor.com (they are a mobile wheel repair shop in the DC metro area). I would look up Ye Olde Wheel Shop but I've heard a few bad things about them and they were pretty abrupt and rude the few times I called them.

I did last year, had it fixed at a place in Bath, PA (Wheel Collision). Incredible good job. Cost me about $200.00 well worth it since that wheel looks better than the original other three.

Had to drive thru a narrow ATM entryway yesterday. I swear to god, I was sweating like crazy.

Should have just gotten out and walked. Wheels are still pristine incredibly.
