GT-7 only comes in Noble Gold. Which is a lighter version of the gold you find on the Volk TE-37s, SF Challenges, and SF Winnings. I was going to get them, but I couldn't wait the 5 months it took to get a set in Noble Gold. I have never seen them on a 350Z but many S2000s have them. Here is a pic:



This is the SF Challenge in the other Volk gold not available on the GT-7:

Thanks for the info King! Yah, it would take about 2-3 months to get the gold so I decided on getting the SF Challenge in gold which should only take 1 month. Nice car by the way! I was also thinking about diamond black GT-7's with my SB.

yeah it'll look sick. i would go with a 17+ offset on the rear to maximize the amount of lip on the rim. you will have to roll the fender, but it's not a big deal.

*edit*
why don't you take the picture of the lex and photo chop the face of the rim to my car to see what it looks like. also sample the colors from the other pics to get a better image of the gt7 on your car.

Just to let anyone know. My buddy who I was buying my Noble Gold rims from still has them if you are interested, just PM or e-mail me. I really want to see these on a 350Z, preferably Daytona Blue.

Check out this page:

Available offsets for GT-7 on 350Z:

8 1/2

+11 +21 +30
+23 +33 +42
+36 +46

9 1/2

+5 +15 +24
+17 +27 +36
+30 +40 +49
+42

10 1/2

Lots of choices. Most popular are 8.5 +23 and 9.5 +24.

What about the titanium gunmetal finish? Is that like a hyper black? Sounds like a really cool color--does it cost extra? I think my next rims are going to be that color depending on if I get pics
