Thumbs up Help me decide....

Candy Blue


or

Gloss Black



If I go Candy Blue will probably color match the lip to the Lemans color and get Lemans matching lug nuts.

If I go with Gloss Black will probably color match the lip to the rims.

Headlights have been blacked out with low gloss. Rear tails are also getting blacked out. Will probably get the turn signals blacked out too with a low gloss tint.

IMO I think the black gloss looks really hott and seems to match better with the overall color scheme of your car especially if your headlights and tails are blacked out. I think the blue is a really nice color however I do not think it looks good with your car.

I did think about that color too, only reason I did not put that color on there is because its a bit of a darker blue than what I would like to go with. But thanks for the Vote on the blue, I might end up doing the blue color just to see what it looks like in real life but I don't know yet. I rather do it once and not have to deal with removing rims and tires again.

I like the black it just takes too much detail away from the rims but it definitely looks good, like some kind of monster

Gloss black matches your Z better and I am of course partial to that wheel color.

The blue might fly here in Denver since blue/orange are Denver Bronco colors. I like the blue color, just not on Lemans Sunset. Much prefer the black tween the two.

Are other colors out of the question? Maybe some type of silver/gunmetal? I do like the black, but hopefully you will get done professionally and not rattle can them like many people do to their stocks which I hate, it just looks so bad.

Edit- I would change up the lugs as well when you change the wheel color to add something a little extra.

The rims are already gunmetal


Only other color is maybe White and yes they will be powder coated not rattle canned. The lugs will be changed up. I think Orange lug nuts, that match the cars color, would go well with either black or blue.

i say go blue. Be a little different, there are plenty of lemans sunsets out there with black rims getting kind of played out imo but i say do the blue and if you dont like it or get too much negative feedback from it go black, blue will just set your car aside from everyone elses and i personally think it looks awesome Team TunaAsuB

and I agree. black is played out and at $30-50 a wheel for powder coating its really not that bad so I could get them done in black.
