I've got a set of Nismo LMGT4s and I was thinking about powder coating them in white, to match my PPW Z. Has anyone powder coated LMGT4s before? I'm trying to get an idea of how it'll look. Thanks.

That'd be bad *** that or a set of custom time attack LMGT4's I say do it and post the results...

Time attack LMGT4s would look sick, but in my opinion, not on a PPW. But, should I have them coated in the color of the car (Pikes peak white pearl QX1) or just solid white? I'm thinking solid white will stand out more. The lip is currently stainless. Should it be white or leave it stainless?

Those are available in a 10.5 rear. And, they come in white. How come they're not listed in the NISMO Official catalog? Are they not the real deal or what? I'll definitely go with those before powder coating.

Those sizes are Japan only I believe, of course they can be ordered but the wait time and cost will most likely be that of a custom Volk wheel.

check out USN HM 350Z's car, he has black powdercoated 18" LMGT4s

When I see white painted/powdercoated wheels, I think of the old Hondas and Acuras.

There are a few cars on this site that are PPW with white te37's. I think white LMGT4's would look good.

I have seen a 350z with powdercoated white te37's here in South Florida...to each his own

I colormatched my Avus wheels PPW...better look IMO

What's funny is that time attack color schemes and dark faced/polished lip wheels are totally played out now. Some people here are saying white wheels are "old", but in reality I think they're a fresh look if done right.

just got them on this weekend and they look hotttter than i imagined they would. not rice at all. the old hondas/acuras that had color matched wheels looked cheap because the car itself looks cheap, and the wheels tended to look like plastic. doesn't look that way at all with the z and volks.

funny you say that because with the pearl white, colormatched PPW look better...the other white wheels are too flat of a white and look like an awkward contrast...

I appreciate white on white, just colormatched...

Yeah, I know what you mean. The LMGT4s would look sweet though, I'm afraid that instead of people liking it for what it is, they would just trash it. There are better options anyway.

the OCD stickler-for-perfection in me wants them to colormatch exactly, yes. but oh well, i can deal.... until it starts bugging me SO much that i take them to get repainted
