I can't find the dude with gunmetal se rims, but yeah him with the 95 and 96?
Which do you think would look better on a black on black 96 with red clear light dtm mod?

Are you referring to me, the dude with the 95 and 96 maximas?

I'd go with gunmetal, but that's cause I have them and love it. I actually just made the decision to keep the SE gunmetal wheels instead of buying other wheels? I just love the way it looks.

Bronze looks okay to me. If you have the red/clears, you may want to do gunmetal. I went with it because I am going for the all dark look. Silver wheels look great, just not what I wanted.

But really, it's all about what you want.

I'd say leave them the way they are, but def not bronze unless your car was red or some custom paintjob...bronze on black...meh

i really don't think the 4g se wheels have the right styling for colors. i actually think the chrome ones look the best but thats just me.

I would go bronze but in a lighter shade then what you pictured. But then again, I'm partial to bronze. (see Avatar)

I love the color of your car, but don't know if my car would have no contrast with gunmetal on black. Yours is a dark blue and goes good with it . Maybe i'll try both and see which one i like better. I always had a thing for black cars with bronze rims

IMO, bronze should never go on ANY car....it just makes it look tacky and not natural. You want something that will complement your car's color, not clash.

personally I think the bronze looks really good on that first pic. I'd go with bronze

You should paint them whatever color you want after all it is your car. Just remember once you start spraying, there is no going back.......

You can always paint them whatever color you want and if you don't like it, paint them silver again.

True. What color is your car by the way? And are those 96 headlights?

Paint code KN6 or Granite Pearl Metallic. The headlights on my 95 are from ebay, the black/chrome glass headlights. The corners are black/chrome corners that I painted all black (Cefiro Clone Mod).

And just to clarify, my wheels were painted with Duplicolor Graphite Wheel paint (basically gun metal), then a clearcoat.

Are they these ones http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...spagenameZWDVW
or the euros with the Ae mod? Corners did you use your stock ones?

Thats my car at the top. I hate my bronze wheels now. I only run them in the winter now, but man they do bug me. I plan on repainting them silver every summer but never do.

May not be the exact same color, but at least it would be silver.

Dave H.

iTrader: (5)

Yes, those are the ones I have.

And the corners are the euro ones from ebay, that had black on the sides, but like I said, I painted them all black.
