There is a gallery for each color 350Z. Check the gallery for your color Z, and you’ll find all sorts of different color wheels.

i have read that the powder coating process weakens the strength of the rim, do you know anything about this?

The orignial track wheels are powdercoated, so I don't know about weakening the wheels. I had mine powdercoated black over two years ago.

My cost for powdercoating was $75/rim. However I had to have wheelworks remove and remount the tires which is an additional expense.

sroks5: 100/rim isn't a bad price considering you have two piece rims. Did you take them apart and reassemble or did the powdercoating place do that?
