Default Thinking about powdercoating my LMGT4s

I am going to change up my car now. I am going with a Silverstone/black combo with the Nismo V2 front and nismo sides/rear.

I currently have the LMGT4s and love them, but wanna change them up a bit. Should I just go all gloss black or do a time attack theme?

I need some ideas guys, chime in!

If you are going to bother powdercoating, do something different. Leave the lip polished and powdercoat the centers blue.


I'm serious.

why would you get flamed? i think that is the stupidest look on any wheel. especially a LMGT4.

No time attack, please. It wouldn't look right on a LMGT4 anyways.

I understand all of the comments about the time attacks, I was just throwing that out there because I am thinking about something other than just a gloss black wheel. However, I do like the all black LMGT with the nismo sticker. I was just looking for some "out of the box" ideas.

Forget the time attack look. Please don't even think about it. It is getting unbearably played out.

Since your car is silver, I would get something in a matte black finish. No polished lip crap, just a clean matte black with maybe a Nismo sticker.

No kit yet. I am getting it painted and put on in mid sept. Yea, I really dunno about the blue, those wheels are sick though. I really don't know If I will go matte black or gloss black on the body kit, probably gloss though.

No worries on the party though. We are skipping next week because all of the back to school parties will be goin on, so the turnout will not be so good. In 2 weeks though, its on.

i can find out tomorrow. The guy here in town quoted me 65 dollars a wheel for gloss black. I thought that was a really good. He knows what he is doing, I have seen a lot of his work.

I will check on the hyperblack tomorrow

the center of the wheel should be the same black as the bottom parts of your Nismo kit.

Leave the polished lip.

You can also paint your door handles black to go with your color theme.

That was the plan on the door handles, they are doing the whole bubbling thing so I thought I would just go ahead and get that done. I just dunno what else that I want black. I was also contemplating on keeping the polished lip.

Thanks for input
