Default Need to Fix the UGLY

Hey Guys,

Mature car owner here, looking to get rid of that brushed alluminium color on my stock rims. Perhaps a powdercoat or a replacement aftermarket rim.

Can you guys recommend any that would help out. I don't wanna spend over a G bar.

Thanks for your help.

John

Also its a 2007 Z, Base model

i'd suggest picking up a different set of oem wheels if you don't want to spend the money on a nice set of aftermarket wheels.

What's a "G bar"? I suggest browsing the "wheels and tires" section of this site. I liked the look of my stock rims, but they weren't wide enough, so I picked up NT03's. You may hate them, I dunno.

You have an extremely large amount of choices when it comes to rims, so I suggest looking around at pictures and then coming back with a more definite "hey I like this, is there anything similar to this that you can recommend" rather than "I hate this look, give me something else".

lol at G bar.

so you basically want rims that are not silver?
look around the media sections, find what you like, research then buy.

if you want really cheap rims that look good, i hate to say it and not trying to advocate the idea but look into varrestoen or other replica companies.
you get what you pay for with those though.

^ Looks great. What are the specs on those wheels, including offset?

Personally I'm a broke college kid, and varrstoens are what I'm going with.

Your best bet is to look around the regional marketplace/craigslist and try and pick up a used set in good condition, but for under 1k, you might not have too much luck.
