Dipped my wheels black...

Well I dipped the wheels on my 2005 Athens Blue G35...I just thought I'd share. I'm waiting for a bronze metalizer so they'll get an update next week! Enjoy!

Maybe you should have stayed in school, although there are no classes for common sense/taste! Nice looking coupe...Gary

Well, the Army does a decent job of teaching I've found out. Like I said this is merely and update, simply waiting on bronzer to get the color I want. The rims have to be black to start. I understand it's not everyone's taste though!

Keep the OEM color, take the dip off before it gets worse.

I agree bronze may help a bit. Black is played, glad it's not staying that way. Blue G is too nice to murder the wheels.

Thanks for your service, warriors.

Why does it always stink around a cheese farm?

I like black wheels. They sell for close to nothing on craigslist and then I can get them powder coated to my specific choice of color! (All for less than those wheels in the color I wanted).

I like the idea of getting them powder coated eventually. I love the OEM rims but I don't love the silver, I think it's a bit bland. But that's just me and my opinion.

I dig it. I think they look better than the silver on a blue car.

I like to experiment as well. Some people play it so safe it's boring. Not that your car is exciting or anything but definitely don't be afraid to try things.
