Default would this look good on my car?

hey guys,

well i have a budget for my rims. So i've heard a lot of good things from MB Motoring rims. relatively cheap and light.

here's how my car looks like taken @shell gas station Vpower baby!(taken with my blackberry, sorry for the crappiness)








and 1 from my album to show the side



and these are how the Mb motoring Battles look like on a 240. looks pretty concave. let me know guys. your opinion counts. i did a quick google search and found these. it looks great on the 240, but i don't know how it'll look with the Z.














YAY OR NAY ??

I stick with gunmetal since it compliments your car

Stick with a darker silver color or black.

Oh, and get some new sides... otherwise get your front bumper and rear add-ons painted body color.

THey should look great , but i would probably get some Rota's for a few pennies more. With Rota you know you can get replacement easily. Even better get Enkei , works or Volk. Hell your sporting a CF hood, huge gooky moto wing, Stillen SC, Nismo bumper.

Why cheap out on your wheels??????

they look good but like said before your gonna need spacers and definately want to get the lowest offset available. I would suggest checking out Rota's before you pull the trigger on these. But whatever you do post pics after

What kind of black did you use on your stockers. It looks good and I'm thinking of doing the same.
