Not specifically sure if this is elsewhere and I can't find it on the links from other threads, but I was advised by an E-bay seller that the Pikes Peak White color code is the exact same as Glacier Pearl code QX1 Glacier Pearl Tri-Coat QX1 . Fact?

all models, regardless of year (03-07) have the same PPW paint code. The different variations you see are due to aging. So shades of white in older Z's might appear slightly darker than newer Z's. But then again, PPW is pearl white...it will always appear more cream-ish/darker looking than regular solid white.

No custom paint. I bought the wheels from a member here at my350z.com AS IS after he sold his Z. The wheels matched the color of my car so perfectly (after seeing them in person) that I had to have them.

You can custom paint the Volks to PPW but it will cost a you. There is a sponsor on this site that does that. You might want to check the marketplace. You might also want to ask some of the my350z.com sponsors if they can still get any pearl white Volk wheels but I guarantee you will pay a premium.

And yes... PPW = IP = QX1. They're the same paint code.
