What Wheels/Rims Should I Buy?? Cant Decide!

Okay so I am here to ask the opinion of anyone on G35 driver who cares to share. I am buying new rims for my 04 6MT Black Coupe. I have it narrowed down to a few choices. View the picture I attached and tell me if you think these rims would look good on my car. 2-3k is about my budget for rims and tires but as of now I am looking at TWS Nardo 20". My issue is that I cant decide If I should go chrome or gunmetal. (leaning toward gunmental but idk?) let me know what you guys think or if you can suggest any other wheels that you would recommend for the price? Obviously its all about personal preference but I am asking for others opinions for a reason haha. thanks

I think gunmetal on a black car looks pretty slick. Here are some photos of our V710s in 19x9.5/19x11 on a black coupe.

I'm personally a fan of gunmetal on black as well, I don't care for black rims on black cars. If not gunmetal, I would go either hyper black or some sort of silver.

Lots of chrome haters on here, but if you pair the right wheel with the right car they can look good. How do I know that? I haz the chromies and I think they look great. That being said I would go with the gunmetal and those V7 10s look sick.

Nothing wrong with a chrome or high polish at all! Just depends on what you're looking for.

And thank you for the kind words.

Gunmetal or Chrome?
id say gunmetal, only because the chrome makes a car look cheap at times
also go with a rim that gives a clean look, the cleaner the better the car looks

I dont really have a budget... but my goal is to not pay for something I wont enjoy/need. Honestly, I wanted to get something really nice and used but no one has hit me up haha. Thanks for the comments guys, I agree about the gunmetal but honestly I just dont know/can't find any other sick wheels for the OB coupe...

Update!

Okay I think I have decided to go with a set of 20" Work Schwert SC1's. They look like a way sicker version of the TWS's and are much better in performance (naturally). You guys think they will fit on my car without rubbing, I don't have coils yet.? Also, do y'all approve/ think they will look good?

These are the sepcs:
Front- 9.5x20 +15 R-Disk
Tires- 245/30/20
Rear- 10.5x20 +17 O-Disk
Tires- 275/30/20

Much better pick. You'll have no issues with those wheels. As beebs said, just roll the rear fenders.

the guy selling them to me says his rear fenders are not rolled and he doesnt rub, (im wondering if this is true from what your telling me). Now, if I were to get my rear fenders rolled, where would I do that professionally? I can do it myself, as I have done it before (even tho its a b!tch..) but idk where I would ever get one of those rollers? or maybe its better to get it done by a shop? Let me know meng. Also, glad to hear yall approve.

He's probably stock height and doesn't rb because he has 3" from wheel to fender.

If you lower the car and correct the camber you will need to roll the fenders.

Check craigslist for your area for someone that rolls. If not call a couple performance shops they'll either do it or know someone that does it.
