RFP1s are HERE! Color Question!!!
Alright so I just received my RFO1s and I couldn't be happier with them having never seen them in real life. God I love when you spend all day waiting for UPS and then there's a knock on your door that on any other day you would swear was the police and freak out, but on this day you run straight for the door excited as all hell, and there is your package.... all boxed up and new. Sorry I'll stop ranting now. Anyways from the pictures you can see I have two matte black 10.5" and two silver 9.5" rims, so my question is..... what color to have them powdercoated? Gloss white, gloss black, matte black, or a dark graphite to semi-match the carbon fiber on the car? I have red 5Zigen long lugs on the way and will be applying a time attack stripe to the edge to be different and because I like the style and red Enkei stickers like you see on the black. Here's pics of wheels and my car for reference on colors.
I also have a Shine Auto V2 replica with twill lip an canards that should be here tomorrow and will be adding a V2 wing with CF deck soon.

Gunmetal wheels look great on a black Z with carbon fiber accents. Nitrouz's former Z is a perfect example.
Matte black would look good too. That would be my second choice amongst the choices available in the poll.
I wish black chrome was one of the poll choices available, but then I would have a hard time deciding whether to vote for black chrome or gloss gunmetal!

I am not going to comment on other people's posthumous cars.
but no. to me gunmetal is the weakest color for rims (I have them on now... lol). satin black is nasty. it does nothing for a car but make it look dull.
just my opinion from having many colors of wheels. I will list because I hate my life:
silver
bronze
satin black
dark silver
gunmetal
and I think there was one other color. I cannot remember.

Then vote for gloss gunmetal in the poll!!! It's not showing that you voted yet.
That photoshop looks badass. It shows that the 370Z has nice potential for improvement with body kits and wheels. I'm looking forward to seeing what body kits become available in the upcoming year.

mmm... I'm excited. I'm still unsure and probably will be until I actually take them there and have to tell him, but I'm really thinking matte black is going to be most beneficial in where I'm trying to go, but who knows... I can always get em redone later :-) Pics will be up hopefully wed or thurs. Shine Auto V2 bumper is on and looks crazy.... awesome fitment. Going for paint friday so look for a small shoot in media thread soon. I'll post up pics of wheels here though when they are done... Anyone have a good DIY for time attack stripe? I've been told by the body shops I've checked with they won't paint it cause it'll crack and the powder coater won't so I'm at a loss. I'm in Baton Rouge, La if anyone in south louisiana could refer me to someone that would be great also.
