Default Testing the waters for my PPW

Hey guys need opinions!
I'm looking to get a set of rims this summer. Whatever they are gonna be, I am set on 5/6 spoked rims, either flat black or gloss black, with a white pinstripe. I'm also going to get a BBK and paint calipers white.

Just wondering what you guys think that would look like on a PPW?
Remember, black wheels, white pinstripe, and white calipers. Also, GLOSS BLACK OR FLAT BLACK??

I have searched and searched but have not found any pics of this, I have seen people ask about it but nothing visual.

Here is my car: https://my350z.com/forum/media-share...e-z-today.html

*note* my front grille is blacked out so take that into consideration.

thanks

-jeremy

If you can dress yourself in the morning you can certainly pick wheels.

Yeah that looks alright.
But a white LIP is not what im looking for.

Just picture the time attacks... but with a white pinstripe instead... and either flat or gloss black...with calipers painted white sitting in the background...

I admire your artistic mind.

Please... you act like what I'm asking for is gonna make the car look all white... not even...

With black door handles, my already tinted windows, and other black accents throughout... it should all come together...

and to the OP , while calipers will only look good for 10 to 15 minutes. Red calipers would make a nice contrast.

I truly love the time attack look, esp. on a PPW.

Its just that I always tend to stray away from the norm, and whats played out. Same goes with the red brembo look, its absolutely stunning n clean.

Just want to see what else beside RED would look good. If not white (to color match the car) than what else??

well GL keeping that chit clean. I wanted to do white on white a long time ago but I relized my tint was black..so it would make it really hard. I would say find a good contrasting color to white and throw it on the car. Like red, blue, or gold. You can get rims, lugs, BBK in those colors to compliment one another.

Be careful, white calipers will be very hard to keep clean.
