Anyone have any pics of white rims on the PPW? I've seen a lot of people say it looks bad and "ricey" but I've never seen pics to judge for myself.

looks ok to me, the ground effects are more "ricey" on that white z then the wheels imho.

^ gorgeous

I think I want a rim that has multiple very skinny spokes, but that color black with the chrome lip is very fine indeed.

Indeed, you are correct. My wheels started life off as a set of bronze Volk TE37s . . . but unfortunately had a valet curb all four of them. I had them sandblasted, powdercoated black, had the lip cut and high speed polished, and the entire wheel then clearcoated. While there are days I miss the bronze, I think, overall, they turned out quite nice.

PPW + Black rims = SICK looking Z.
Here is a pic of my CS with JDM Black LM GT4 rims.

No more posts or I will never decide. Black NISMOs are beautiful, too, just a bit more expensive than they need to be. You could just buy the same wheels from Rays and slap the sticker on. I doubt anyone would notice.

These aren't actually black, more of a grey/gunmetal.

At the risk of showing my green-ness, I'll ask anyway...

How can I tell which tires will fit a particular wheel? The only dimensions I've ever seen with wheels are rim diameter and width, both in inches.

Hey Z-Incog, what rims are those 'n how much did you pay for 'em? I fell in love with those rims ever since I saw them on a Z.
