Default Gunmetal TE-37's on Silverstone

I put some 19" TE-37's on my Z today. I believe I am the first person on this forum to have TE-37's so I will post a few pics so you will know what they look like.

THANK YOU!!!! That looks SO hot... Thanks for having the ***** to be the first one. There will likely be more to follow; my lemming self included

edit: do those blue stickers come off? I think it'd look much better without them.

Default Gun Metals...

Ok...sorry to be the negative response here but I personally don't like the gunmetal look with the silverstone color. I have an SS (still have the OEM perf wheels) and prefer the more obvious chrome look. And I'm even thinking about higher profile chrome wheels instead of the brushed wheels I have now to have a bit more stand out from the coloration of the car.

But...to each his own. If you and others like the setup you have put on your car...Congrats. The wheels you got are standouts, I just prefer a more brilliant looking wheel.

To each is own I guess but I'm not into 'bling'...chrome rims just look ghetto.

Yeah, I had a tough time deciding between the bling and race look. (GT-7's will be here next week ) But I finally decided that since the Z is a sports car, I'd go with the race wheel. It does look aggressive, like this car's not messing around. And I just couldn't see myself rolling with the phatty polished lip.

IMO, the wheels go good with the color, tint, and smoked markers. I'm thinking I need to get a veilside carbon fiber lip to complete the look.

It's on stock suspension, and I'm gonna leave the stickers on - I like them.

GT-7's are Volk wheels, seven spoke with a huge polished lip.

Not tobe a dik, but in my (and I believe some other's opinions)
We find the stickers to be somewhat in the city of neighborhood of the ballpark of Rice.

They actually are not really that bad, but some of us just like to have the super clean look. Myself included.

Rice??? How could you even consider a Volk sticker on a Volk rim being rice, that makes no sense at all.
