just scored a sick deal, any suggestions?

Saturday i bought a set of brand new in box 19" 15 spoke take-offs that come on the '11-'13 g37 coupes and the '14 Q60 for $900.

Since i have an '07 g35x sedan blk/blk im thinking of either getting the wheels powder coated or chrome plating them (but probably gonna go with powder coating them). I already took the g35x emblem off the trunk, thinking of blacking out my grille and keeping the chrome emblem, blacking out the trunk lip and maybe getting the headlights wet sanded.

Do you guys suggest anything else maybe I should do something with the wheels or suspension to make it look better? FYI, I dont like the "slammed" look or anything.

I think the offsets are the same so it should look good as it sits.

The all-black theme is getting old. I'd run the wheels as-is. The color contrast IMHO looks a lot better than black cars running black wheels.

Your car, your decision, but you asked for opinion.

Especially when the chrome starts to chip/peel.

leave them as is, or get them painted a darker gunmetal color. black on black with the G37 19s is just tacky looking IMO. Remember you still have to buy tires for the things, and TPMS for all 4 wheels if you arent transfering them over. the tires will be another 800-1k minimum plus installation.

Having them powder coated gun metal would look great on your OB G making them bullet proof! Painting your wheels will work for a year, maybe two but then you'll have to do it again and that's in my climate. Headlight...color sanded? Buy the 3M kit to bring your headlights back to life, that's the best!
