Default Upgrade to 19" Rays (Opinions wanted)

I am going to upgrade to a set of 19" Rays wheels. I am torn between the standard silver finish or the gunmetal spokes. My car is the 2005 Anniversary edition in the Ultra Yellow. Here are some photos. Hit me with it guys.

I posted a pick of the stock 18" Anniversary Rims.

If anybody is interested my stock Anniversary Rims, which I think are made by Rays, will be for sale with the stock Bridgestone Potenza tires both have less than 2500 miles on them.

I like the stockers too but I can't put wide tires on them. I need more traction since I am turbocharging my car.

I have a yellow z33 and I have black 19"s......yeah i know black is over used but 2 be honest with you...black looks AWESOME with yellow....




But if you wanna stick with your 2 options then go for gunmetal.... it's more of an INTENSE look!!!

I asked my SO (Significant Other) which ones she liked and she said the Gunmetal rims looked like they were covered in brake dust. I see the Direct Tire Advertisment on this site pictures a yellow Z with these rims in silver.

Does the car need to be lowered or will it look fine left alone?

Maybe so, but not as overdone as silver... Silver is still the most widely used color for wheels.

The wheels on your dad's car are not made by Rays; they are the anniversary wheels, which are now standard on all models below GT&Track in '06.
