Thanks for the suggestions. How about this lol...black finish rims, with a white lip on the PPW car?? or black finish rims with red lip on the PPW car...I figure a dark tint and the red on the rwear lights make it work

There are no hard and fast rules that say "don't do white on white," but be sure you can pull it off. It works either with a "I just got back from the track" kind of look or a "my car is super hooked up, *****, say something!" kind of look. If I could have any Z it would be PPW with gold. Although, black looks ridiculous on PPW as well.

Update: Well, I'm at my performance shop and paying for the Eibach springs and then get to looking at the rims. I've decided already to go with the black finish rims (I feel I cans till pull the white, but they are so few and far and I don't want to have to custom paint, AND everyone who has had white has mentioned having to keep it clean and stains on it...) and had a few that I was going to go with: 1) Tenzo-R DC-6 Version 2 Black w/machines lip 2) MoMo Corse Ten-S Black 3) R-1 Racing HYPE Black 4) R-1 Racing HYPE Machine Black 5) R-1 Spike Black 6) R-1 Victory Black
A few more I listed to him for pricing, but forgot. I originally thought of just keeping my new tires (only put about 300 miles on) and going with 18's, but am thinking of doing 19's with Nitto's (mabe on Invo's?). I also tinted my windows today to continue with the PPW and black theme.
Also, question. While at the shop, a regular was there and wanted to sell 20" ADR Rims that were black finish and appeard to be either the ADR-78 Sterling or ADR-97 Decadence on Nitto's (not sure which type Nitto's they were) that he stated he only had for about 3 months (tread seemed to be great, but if they are the version that SUCKS in water, I'll definitely give this a pass as rainy time is coming to FL soon and my only accident ever was hydroplaning). He wanted to sell me the rims and tires for my $700 and my current stock 350Z rims and tires. Anyone think it's a deal I should take? Only issue I saw (rims were dirty at the time) that he pointed out was one of the rims had a micor scuff on it.
Let me know if you want any links to my possibles list

That looks hot man! What model year Z is that? I keep feeling that this PPW is different from the previous model year's and not a true solid white...seems to be off a little. Am I just imagining things?

Just like everyone else says: White on white works. Just make sure you can pull it off. Pulling it off really means having the right combination. For instance, wheels with pearl white centers and polished lip (like my GT7s) go well with the IP G35 and the PPW Z. An all white wheel like the TE37s IMO won't work with the IP G35 but looks alright on the PPW Z (the white on the TE37s shown above doesn't quite match the PPW Z nor the IP G on the link below).
IP G w/ white TE37s.
Other members have tried white on white on my350z.com and g35driver.com. Do a search and form you own opinion as to how the combinations work.
EDIT: I found a picture of pearl white on pearl white.

Noorb, did you custom paint those rims or did they come like that? I see what you mean about not the identical match. I don't suppose it would be possible to custom paint the white volks to exactly the PPW color?
