Default What color sf winnings for a Silverstone Z

Hey im pretty torn on this issue, and would appriciate some feedback, im putting the silver on order today at F1, because the gunmetal from what ihave seen does not match the silverstone color, i frankly think that if its close but not on it would look goofy. let me know what you think, i can still change the order, if any one has the gun metal sf winnings on a silverstone z (19") please post them.

I ordered mine in gunmetal as well. I don't think it needs to match exactly. As long as the wheels are a 'cool' grey, like the Silverstone, as opposed to a 'warm' grey which might look funny.

I think the Mercury Silver would be a nice contrast to the Silverstone. Sure gunmetal is nice, but that silver is just very appealing. In view of the color of your car, youre a winner with either color.

I put a set of bronze on my Silverstone and it made the car look green.

Mercury Silver all the way. I've sold several of these to SS owners and they absolutely loved them.

SF winning looks good in any color.

Here are the first set of SF Winnings that were imported into the US and mounted on a 350Z. These came in along with John350Z's set(same size and color). I have since replaced them with a Gold set of the same exact rim. Personally I think gunmetal on SS is to similar. Contrast is more appealing to the eye. I personally like allot of contrast which is why I went with gold in the end.

Importriders, so the rims in your pics are in gunmetal finish? I kinda thought they were in mercury silver. Either way, your car is Zweet!

I agree with the Mercury Silver. I am not a fan of matching wheel colour with car colour. I feel that that style is played out, but that could also be because I owned a Type R for 6 years which was white on white for most of its life (I used the stocks for winter and for summer a couple of seasons)

My Z is the SS with Mercury Silver SF Winnings. The other Z is my friends CS with Gunmetal GT-7's.

The new Rays Metal Coat would look nice. Otherwise, I'd go with gunmetal.

You wouldn't regret the color on your SS

I lowered the car with Tein Flex Coilovers. I am not sure how much lower the car is, I think it is 0.75 inches or so all the way around. The coilover and EDFC came out to about 1800 or so.
