Try a chrome or polished lip. You can't tell where the tire stops and the rim starts.

 

nahh, leave your rims the way they are, just learn how to use some tire shine to bring the contrast out. the stock 18's look nice the way they are, seriously.

 

Some needs to add black window trim to that pic and THEN you have a winner!

 

hi,

i painted mine same shade as GTR...plus painted the front grill and rear chrome part black...looks nice to me...any feedbacks

 

dooooode looks nice how much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking, also how did you let them know you wanted that shade?

 

i got it done in Dubai all this cost me around 200$ i mean rims, grill and trunk chrome part.....they were very reluctant to paint the chrome as saying you will loose value of the car and things like that...but when it came out he told me he has painted two other cars in a weeks time...people here dont change anything from OEM...

for the shade they had it if you need any number of the colour i will try to arrange it...but trust me its looks way better then OEM and all black.

 

It does look awesome and way better too, but it would be sweet if you could tell me the color or something, was it painted or powder coated?

 

its painted not powder coated...i was thinking of powder coating as well but it wont give you same results...if you see the original colour of aluminum it has lot of shine and shows different shade sometimes shiner and sometimes dark...so i choose gun metallic paint and when they will spary it just add some silver but dont mix it...the result will be like OEM colour and will again give shades or dark and light

its darker in day and lighter in night

for the shade i called the person he said its nissan code and they cant give me the number and it would be useless to pass it on to anyone as its only available in nissan/infiniti.

so i guess you have to choose it by looking at it or rather just put a spot on something to get a better feeling

hope it helps

 

SO you just got gun mental metallic and mixed in some silver?

 

yeah dark grey and add silver..like 5% of total paint

 

Looks better with the chrome blacked out too. Couldnt you do that with vinyl?

 

i checked that but it was not matching the colour shade...as i did the one on trunk as well.

 

Could someone take my first picture and put some G37 rims and make them flat black please? I can't decide if I want to take my rims and get the powder coated flat black, or buy some G37 ones and do it.
