what colour wheels go well with a lakeshore blue G35 Coupe?

I know that its harder to find mod/cosmetics parts for lakeshore blue coupe.
I wanted to get some advice as to what kind of colour rims would look good with the lakeshore blue colour?
does matt bronze or brozne power coat go well?
how about a darker colour like gunmetal dark gray?

if you have photos to share, please do.
i really appreciate it =)

Daz, LS is a "blingy" color to begin with but if you run drab colored wheels it could get ugly. Having seen a few modified they look best with GM centers and big azz lips, like Works VS XX in 19"....

I am having the same dilemma right now. Black w/a chrome lip is going to make the car look fugly imo.

I am leaning towards machined face(brushed silver) w/chrome lip or
Gold face w/chrome lip

And its called Lakshore Slate btw :-)

i dont actually consider is that bingy
lakeshore slate is like a slivery blue...more toned down mature (?) colour as compared to say... athens blue
athens blue is really nice but alot brighter and attractions attention

i am not a big fan of lips or chrome haha

i am just more interested if bronze wheels go well with the slate colour =)

Mark, prior to laying down some heavy $ for wheels look in a few tuner mags, attend some meets and car shows so you make the right decision the first time....unlike the rest of us. Bronze won't do a thing for the way your G looks, it's way to blaaaa. But hey, it's your car....make it your own. Get someone to photoshop bronze wheels on a pic of your car, they you'll have your answer!

Here are a few of my suggestions. As you can tell I don't think black, gold, bronze, or other colored rims would work for me.

All of these are listed in the Marketplace right now. You will find better prices on OEM wheels than aftermarket ones and they are very well made.

That being said, you might consider the wheels that Marcus has (Candlestick Park). His car is sexxxxxxxxxxxxxy!

I say go w/ Merc silver VOLKS or brushed silver finish of one of the forged 3 pc rims. Can't go wrong w/ silver IMO.

It's definitely a timeless, classic look.
