reverendzed Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Doing some tests to see what goes with the red and I can't make up my mind - would love some feedback1 Rev. Quote
Riceburner Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 100% black +2 and maybe some color on the calipers/drums behind? Quote
oldmates260z Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Sorry, always go against the trend....silver or black is OK but need to break it and match with bumpers Quote
PZG302 Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Black with polished rim, or gold with polished rim..... Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 22, 2015 Administrators Posted February 22, 2015 Desperately I want a set of Kobe Seiko wheels for my 240z, I love them in black on the Rally Cars of the period. So another +1 can't go wrong with black wheels on a red Z. Quote
reverendzed Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 seems that black has the overwhelming support at the moment! Quote
Six_Shooter Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Anything but black. BTW, what is the model of wheel (in the OP)? I know they are a semi-popular wheel for the S30, but the more I see them, the more I'm considering them. Quote
chris240 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Gunmetal spokes and highly polished outer rim, or gold spokes and polished outer...not a fan of painted outers. Getting tired of black. Gold is the new black ! Quote
sydney mike Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Polished or solid colour? I must admit, I am becoming a bit of a "wheel-whore". My Zed recently received another "boob-job" 15x7, 205/60/15 SSR Mk3: 16x8, 205/55/16 Wats-"raw" alloy: 16x8 215/50/16 Wats painted gunmetal: gav240z 1 Quote
Cozza Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I like black but, your car looks great with all those wheels Mike. It seems you can't go wrong Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 25, 2015 Administrators Posted February 25, 2015 Agreed but I actually prefer the Watanabe's on a Silver car in black. Makes me think I should change my FD wheels to black (Silver Car). Quote
boyblunda Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Mike Outstanding shots that provide a valuable basis for a comparison of the options. For mine, and this is a question that I have been considering for some time, if I have to choose one option it would be the polished lip with the painted centre OR if it is the original 260Z or 280ZX iron cross options, the painted recesses and the polished raised sections. However, in the options presented by Mike, any one of those pics suits the car and would be okay with me. I agree that some car colours do not mix as well with some options. Tough choice. Great question. Dave Quote
Administrators gav240z Posted February 26, 2015 Administrators Posted February 26, 2015 http://garagesanmaru.com/?page_id=79 I see you guys figured out where to drill holes for fender mirrors eventually? Looks good with Black Wheels. Quote
sydney mike Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers Mick & Dave for the kind words. I think all black for the Wats are an improvement over the raw alloy/silver ones on my zed, because of it (the car)being silver and blending in. I also considered just painting the centres gunmetal but I am happy with all gunmetal(watanabe black). Dave, I think you're on to something. When I have time I might start a picture thread (or someone else can) with pics of zeds,preferably their own or net-sourced pics if they are certain of the wheel/tyre specs to help members make the decision on what size wheel and tyre combo's they like. I have searched for ages, could not find any pics of a S30 with gold SSR Mk3's so this might help others in a similar situation. cheers, Mike.

dat240z Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 http://garagesanmaru.com/?page_id=79 Looks good, especially with color coded centres Quote
44014 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I see you guys figured out where to drill holes for fender mirrors eventually? Looks good with Black Wheels. Hey hey hey! I just drilled a hole where Jake had drawn the x. At least myn will be in the right place as we won't make that mistake again. Quote
