Default White Z.....What Wheel Finish?

I have a white Z and I was just curious what wheel finish you guys thought is the best for a white Z?

I was thinking something in gunmetal...graphite...or hyperblack.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!

Fellow Houstonian, this is a matter of opinion. Some prefer gunmetal, gold, bronze, black, and etc..

Get what you want, what you think looks best.

Personally, I like darker wheels. Have you seen the AME FS-01, or the Advan RS?

Those are really nice wheels...but I think I prefer the deep dish look of some of the other choices. Also....I forgot Bronze.....I think bronze looks amazing on a Z but you can't find them on a brand thats reasonably priced....

My choices would be MAG BLUE!!, gold, or gunmetal. I think the MDC gunmetal GTFs look really good.

...look...I am just asking what YOUR opinions are on what looks best and why. Maybe you like the shine...or maybe its the contrast. Its not my deciding factor....I was just curious about what you guys thought becuase I value your opinion.

So...if you would like to give your opinion...I would appreciate it.

Pretty much ANY color wheel looks good on white. It's universal.

It totally depends on what you like. People here can't tell you that.

to me on these ppw z's, my top three favorite color wheels are:
1) Satin Silver (stock like color)
2) dark gray, gunmetal with polished lip
3) bronze/gold

Thumbs up

I have always been partial to Gold or Noble Gold wheels on a White Z... It's a bold look, but it can be pulled off with class and style.

Here are a few pics from the Gold wheels thread









I'm sure you get the idea... Good ruck in your decision; either way you'll be happy !!

damn gold with a polish lip looks so hot on those Zs

want to know what you should do

well first, go to a shop that sells rims, tell them you are interested in some rims and would like to have some rims sit next to my car, so then they will bring out the rim, stand it next to your car, and then you make the judgement of what finish you want
