here is my friend car. The color is Mercury Silver. If that wheel is chrome, it will blend in the the shiny of your red color.

My red Z came with Nissan Chrome wheels. I think they look fine and they're lighter-weight than people think.

Well, since you asked, yes. But everyone has their own opinion. That's cool.

that cool to me but i just want to see how and where it looks like poo. Maybe you can point out something that i don't see before. Or is it just simply because you don't like it and you call it poo? hehe

I see people doesn't like chrome because they are expensive, heavy..etc..but never hear the expression of "poo" before. lolz

Don't get me wrong Bubble, the wow factor on your ride is VERY high. I don't know, but I just think that a chrome wheel versus the same wheel in brushed just looks cheap to me.

But your DB Roadster is nice. Poo was just a funny word.

No chrome on the Z please. Not a big fan of chrome and especially on any type of sports car.

Chrome is definitely a no-no. Not many chrome wheels look good on the Z. Go with black rims with chrome lips, all black, all white, or mercury silver. I have a DB and I'm lookin to get black rims with chrome lips.. as soon as I get enough money.

Here's what my car looks like right now.
