Default just wanted everyones opinion on wheels im thinkin about getting.

I have a 05 daytona blue z touring.

What do you think looks better?

Silver NISMO LMGT4 or Bronze? 18inch

or because these are relatively cheap

19 inch AXIS Hiro Silver or Black with red outline?


Thanks for your opinions. I cant seems to decide and I've looked at alot of pictures of daytona blue cars and havent run into many with these wheels, cept the silver nismo and im on the fence with that one, silver just looks so plain.

I want a clean look tho, not going to rice it out or anything

I think that Axis Shine 19'' look like sex on a DB 350z. Those are my dream rims...

i say neither! to many people have the axis hiro's and the nismo LMGT4's...
for the price of those you can get something that looks really nice and thats a good quality wheel! or you can get a set of WORK wheels!

Be careful with the Hiro's.....see here:

Of course, I'm on the hunt for rims on my DB as well. I did like the look of the bronze Hiro's but man.....cracks like that are not good. I'm thinking of going with a black rim this time around.

Tenzo has been around for a long time. There's another post floating around with pics of a couple of cars that have this rim. They look great. They wouldn't be quite as strong or light as the Nismo though.

thanks for all the responses.

yeah MRFIRE, black rims are nice with silver/chrome accents. but u either find cheap wheels in those colors or super expensive. doesnt seem to be any middle ground.

all silver/chrome seems so common.

the bronze makes the Z look like the STI and i dont know if thats a good thing.

someone hit me
