Default What wheels actually match Silver Stone?

I see a lot of people who have gunmetal on their SS Z's, but they are never really the right color.

Volk's gunmetal seems to be the closest, what other wheels almost or do match the SS paint?

Talking Wheels That Match Silverstone

There really are not very many wheels that can match the "beautiful" Silverstone color. I have ADR M-Sport "hyper-black" wheels on my 04' Silverstone Roadster and they match the color exactly. In addition, the wide polished lips on my wheels are a nice contrast to the actual spoke color. You should check out their web-site. Happy wheel hunting and good luck....

Actually, it was your post and the one of the SS in a parking garage that lead me to think Volk's matched the best.

For some reason I just don't want Volk's, maybe they're just too popular. I wonder if you can get the SF winnings in that color.

Ralphus, if you dont mind shelling out the cash, the standard finish on Kinesis is very close to silverstone.

I don't agree that they should match. Matching the wheels with the paint went out with the 1980 Trans am Pace car. (White on white) guess I'm showing my age.

In the case of Silver Stone, the normal light silver paint used on most wheels looks pretty dumb compared to the dark color of the car, and dark wheels, such as the darker gunmetals, look about equally stupid.

SS is a nice color, you just have to get the right wheels or your car looks ridiculous... on the other 350z colors, I don't think wheel color matters all that much (except for people putting bronze wheels on Lemans Sunset, that **** makes me ill ).
