Help me choose a color for my wheel

I have different option, they will be powdercoated for sure. I need advice on which color to go.

Wheel are from a G35, as the first pic below

Metalic gray


Black matte


Candy raspberry (not a mag but it give you an idea)


They will go on this car.


Thanks for your input

Metallic gray only. Matte black is tacky, played out and will kill the clean look of your car. That red looks nice but will stand out and look weird against that blue IMHO.

+1 on the red, that just won't look right with the blue

Found a pic of the color I wll go with. Suppose to be GTR gray. Dropping the wheel off this weekend for powdercoating. They need to be paint, previous owner already sandblasted them...

I love the GTR rims. Is that the 09 color or the darker color Nissan used in 2011? I really like the darker 11 shade.

I am excited to see how this will come out. Personally I think I would go with a lighter finish since you have a darker car. But I just prefer contrast.

although the black looks great, for a blue car I think that gray is the only way to go. You can possibly go a bit darker but not by much

18's on a 7th gen = no
18" G35's on a 7th gen = no no
18" spray painted g35's on a 7th gen = GTFO

seriously, dont do it, its too tacky. just my opinion

Yea, I agree with QT1, these g35 18's DO NOT belong on the 7 gen, they dont do justice for the lines and are way too small.

My vote is on the gray wheel, the black on dark blue may not have any contrast.

I'll never go bigger than 18"...Obviously none of you are from Montreal, Quebec.

Got a call from the shop, one mag is cracked. They will try to fix it, but I'm not sure I want to drive with them anymore.

Back from the start, find 1 mag or a new set...
