Yeah I think so too, I just don't want them too look to light... I'd like for them to look a bit darker.... that's why I'm wondering if anyone has them....
thx for the input though...

Don't have a pic of it on a Z but here's one from Rick on a G35. You get the idea.




Here's mine on Silverstone. As you can see the color of the tit gunmetal is very close to paint.

Cool that gives me a good idea thx....

That's a clean lookin G, I like they way they look on the SS as well... the only thing is in some pics they come out lighter then in others.... I guess it has to do with how the light hits them.....

Yes trust me that was the biggest problem that I had too when I was researching. The GTS tit gunmetal changes color with the amount of light on it. Basically the darker it is outside the darker they look. But in regular day light they are dead on with my silverstone. Rick at Status had to convince me of it before I pulled the trigger and I must say he was right

The 255s on the front clears like a champ. I am at stock height and I had to go with 285/30/19s on the rears. The 285/35/19s will rub even at stock height. With a +22 I would go with 295s. The problem isn't with the drop, it's with the offset at +18 on the rears. When the suspension compress, the tires will hit because they sit almost flush under the fender. With a less aggressive offset like +22, the tires will tuck under the fender (at +22 though you will not get the 5" lip). Zmotion here on the board got my wheel specs running 255 F 275 R. He is dropped on Hotchkis without any problems. When I drop my car I will move back to 285/35/19s and roll the rears. I don't like the 275s because they have that stretched look.

I know it was less than 4". I measured a +22 19" Rear GT-C and it fell way short. The GT-S is the same.
