The paint is starting to peel of the wheels and its ticking me off. so I want to repaint them. I paint cars for a living so I can pretty much paint it any color i want, I just dont know what would go well with the gray luster.

I dont want black I have a dark color on my sentra and while I like it, its not the look i want for the max. I dunno if i want bright silver, i am thinking of some kinda graphite/dark silver. I tried searching for wheels on gray lustre and I cant seem to find much. Any idea or pics would be helpful. BTW i will be painting the stock rims.

Here is the best pic i have

 

gun metal

 

^ +1. But if you paint them gunmetal, make sure it's either much darker or much lighter than your car's paint, otherwise it could look like a bad color matching job. Unfortunately, I know from experience.

 

^^^ darker i would say..

 

White?

 

Bronze FTW!!!

 

Nissan K11

 

gunmetal would be a great color to match your car.

 

i was debating too its between black or gun metal

 

call me crazy but i say leave it as is

 

K11 is too close to my color.
I would have to see gunmetal on a car with a color similar to mine.
I have been looking around and i am thinking maybe nissan color code KY0. Its a clean slightly darker silver. It comes on the gtr ztune and a few other cars. I think that with a lighly smoked clear may look pretty good

 

yeah def.. looks really classy as you have it, your other mods lik suspension will stand out more

 

K11 on GT-R wheels, and similar stock body color as yours. I understand if you don't want to match though.



Hawt K11 painted wheels

 

K11 might work with your cars color.

 

You damn right it is! Congrats on getting 15 posts!

 

He still has a way to go

 

Gold or bronze.

 

I need pics, My imagination is crappy.
I love bronze but i am iffy on how it will look

 

Gun metal!!!

 

Consider getting them powder coated they will last longer (gun metal)

 

I can't decide!!!

 

I have been paint wheel for a long time never had an issue. Spray paint will look bad and wont last. I use the same paint and clear I use on the body of the car and i have no issues.
Plus i can paint them for free or pay about 400 for P/C Kinda a no brainer for me

 

fun metal would be ok, a polished finish would offset grey lustre the best

 

stick to the light silver colors.. Look dope on dark cars..

 

id say graphite.. you can pick it up at any autozone or strauss

 

Flat Bronze Center/Gloss Bronze Lip

 

try winter chrome

 

Since you have darker theme on the car, and clearly like dark wheels based on the Spec, I'd say a Graphite/Gunmetal. I'm a fan of silver wheels again, but when I had my G35C wheels, I sprayed them with Duplicolor Graphite Wheel Paint.

 

I love that shot. I have been wanting to get those wheels, but the previous owner of my car just installed brand new bfg kdws, so i cant justify getting rid of the.
I do like that color alot though

 

I'd say either polish them or try another 5th gen color like KYO or KT3

 

I have the same issue, and I can't decide either, but some online wheel shops have wheel simulators. You might try that, then you could see a number of different colors. I would like to have it blend with my car.

 

I just bought a 2002 Maxima SE, and have a bad wheel. I have found a couple, but they want to know what color mine are. I don't know if they are light silver, bright silver or some other color of light silver. Mine look just like yours. What is the factory color of yours.

 

I agree with white

 

gun metal ...i tried

 

can you guys tell me how to paint the wheels? my paint is coming off too.... do i have to take all the old paint off in order to paint them or wats the deal? kinda newb with paints.

 

Gumetal or that K11 looks Sic off the GT-R

 

I painted the stock wheels on my 6th gen gunmetal...people just thought they were dirty all the time

I vote for a polished look, like the TE wheels
