I am in the market for buying a Z, so i joined this board to gain some insight on the car. I was originally hoping to get a ppw z, but i found an amazing deal on a silverstone. I was pretty set on the advan rs gold wheels with a ppw z, but if i get the silverstone i am not sure if it looks good.

Opinions?

btw this is GTNPU Z's car...sorry i didn't ask permission to use the pic. I might also want to paint the projector housing gold like in the ps.

 

wouldn't be that bad, do it.

 

what u think specifically about painting the inner part of the light housing gold?..is it even possible?

 

I would try a different color.. that doesnt really seem to be gold.. looks more like greenish...like sean said... it wouldnt be that bad...

 

Thats yellow. I have bronze on CS, and it looks great. It actually goes better w/ SS. Gold shouldnt be too shabby- darker is better when it comes to that shade of color.

 

decide if it's woth possibly having lights that get foggy with moisture...

 

I wanna go bronze on my 350...
There is a pic of one in the offical silverstone Z thread...
Looks HoTtTt...

 

do they have these rims in bronze...i know someone on this forum has one it in gunmetal on ss.

 

There used to be a silver Z around town with 19" Work VSXXs in bright gold; I've seen it on here before years ago too if anyone remembers. Anyway, it looked fantastic.

I think bronze looks like shat regardless, but especially so on silver. My 2 yen.

 

I saw a silverstone with the TE37 Top Secret Gold on this forum and it looked ok. Here is a picture.

 

I guess the consensus is that the combo is just....aight. If i am gonna be buying $2000 plus rims, aight is just not good enough.

back to the drawing board.

 

In all fairness, why does it matter what the consensus is. Have hot pink teddy bear wheels and paint your car to match a BAPE jacket if that's your thing. I might say it looks like trash and that I'd rather fart around in a birdturd-stained Geo than stand within 50 feet of your car, but I'm not the one who has to look at it everyday so my opinion matters little to anyone other than me.

Point is, if you like the look, then buy gold wheels and rock it like you're the cats ***, regardless of who calls it ugly.

 

well put

 

+1

the reason i was saying this is that i wanted this combo on a ppw z, but i wasn't so set on silverstone and gold....i think i was stretching my standards because i wanted these rims in gold.

 

in Ben Stillers voice from Starsky and Hutch..."Dooo iiiit"

 

Gold wheels do not look good at all on the ss IMO. they look great on the ppw though. just my .02
