After reading Konstantin's post I'm thinking I'm gonna get 300ZX rims. They're small light and wide (16x7.5 and about 18lbs). The thing is, though I have a beige max and just about everything looks ugly... Right clee?

Anyway, I'm thinking of powdercoating them titanium, whadya guys think?

 

personally, I'd keep them silver. Not everything looks ugly on beige maximas. Look at 1HOTMAXs car. If you get some, put them on and you'll see it doesn't look bad.

 

yeah, his lip looks damn good and those rims, too. It seems that more beige owners keep their max's looking stock than anyone else. as far as mods per color i would say black and white are on top.

 

I would leave them the silver color.

I will be leaving mine silver for now but am considering having them powder coated "Gunmetal".

BTW- they are 16lbs each (for the front). The rear 300zx wheels are 18lbs.

I will have 4 front 300zx rims.

 

Maybe its me but there has been many maximas going w/ 300zx rims now.

Its all good to me.

 

You can get 17x8 SSR's that weigh 13.1lbs, so they're not that light for 16's. Still do what makes you happy.

You gotta remember, light weight rims come at a price.

Also remember, the bigger the rim is in diameter, you lose acceleration. (Proven in SCC magazine).

For me, i am gettin these b/c i can get a 4 front 300zx rims in great shape for 2 bills & change. Very cheap.

I still would rather have 17's but autos need all the help they can get. hehe.

 

yeah, maybe i'll keep 'em silver. one question though, do the calipers show through with these rims? if they do i might just paint the calipers to match the car and call it a day...

 

I would keep them silver.

 

I would too, I think gunmetal works better on thin, sharply edged wheels. You couldn't pay me enough to powdercoat wheels beige either.

 

Or just 4 NA Z32 rims....

Keep em silver.

 

hehe, who's this Konstantin kid??? for those who haven't seen it

300zx rims are about $300 a set. hell, i can have some rims custom-made that will be 10 lbs a piece. it'll cost more than my car, though!

 

I don't think you can, but do you see the calipers at all? i was thinking if you do then i'll just paint my calipers to match my max. that would be cool. after a little consideration i'm thinking powdercoating them beige would look ugly...
