OP,

Since you have a carbon fiber hood, I suggest this.

Those are iForged 19" Formula Series Aero wheels with anthracite finish on the centers. I think anthracite goes especially well with carbon fiber. I'm awaiting the arrival of my iForged wheels (in anthracite finish of course) and my Top Secret carbon fiber hood for my G.

Go black or graphite if you want to look like EVERY OTHER DB out there.

or be unique and Sek-c with gold, Top Secret gold to be exact:

Blu Blur,

Awesome photos! The Top Secret gold GT-C's look really nice on your DB Z. The offsets look perfect. However, gold wheels on a DB Z aren't that unique nowadays either. There are a few other pics/cars on the forum here with the same color combination.

The OP indicated in Post #5 that he has a carbon fiber hood. I don't think gold wheels would look as good on a Daytona Blue Z that has carbon fiber accents. It would look too busy, IMO. I still think gunmetal, graphite, anthracite, hyperblack, or black wheel finishes would compliment the carbon fiber accents better.

Yes, you are correct but I have yet to see one blue Z with Gold rims. I have seen bronze and of course black but have yet to see gold on a DB. I've seen it on red, however. I think with the popularity of drifting, gold rims will be getting more common.

I think what is rarer is blue on blue and I have only seen 2 Z's like that and one belongs to my friend who took these photos for me, vkzawa.

Also, I neglected to notice the thing about the OP's carbon fiber stuff. Yeah, you're right, it would clash big-time. Probably should go black (bleh!)

Gold is the obvious color choice but I think the Time Attack's would look sick on DB.

IMHO, Mercury silver is the best on DB.

The black is just too much constrast, whereas the MS is complementary.

The gold is nice, but only if its TS gold...Otherwise its too yellowish for the DB.

Time Attacks would be nice, but if the pinstripe was paint-matched DB.

Exactly what I was thinking abotu when choosing rims. They had 3 colors. One was too faint, the other too bold, TS was juuuuuust right. lol

It's all subjective. Mercury Silver will look good on any color if you like the conservative/clean look. Obviously, most people like their wheels to match the color of their car or close to it, but for me, it's all about contrast and making it blend together. Just like gold on PPW or DB, looks hot but we've all seen it before. TS gold and the regular RAYS gold are actually the same so I don't think it would have any more of a yellow tone. I personally think the color scheme of the Time Attacks would look super hot with the contrast of DB. Just my opinion though. Like I said, looks are all subjective.

Werd up! To each his own =)

Everyones got a differnt style, and pretty much anything can look good on a Z. IT's all about the execution. Perfection is in the subtle details.

Well, I just searched through OP's prior posts and found the answers for both of you (and the rest of us). Looks like he got Time Attacks.

Edit: I noticed he added it to his sig too.

I will allways love Mercury Silver in fact I am shopping new wheels now and will be staying with Mercury Silver. Now color changing lips are HOT!!! Wish I could get SF's in Mercury Silver with that lip combo.

I also like white/DB when it comes to a R34
