Andi Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) Hey all, Should have a silver R34 coming into my hands pretty soon and I'm looking at a set of rims for the car. I've got my eyes on a set of rims, and in my opinion they look so nice. Just not sure how they would look on a silver/grey car? Your opinions? And does any body have pictures of their grey/silver cars with black rims on it? EDIT: I'm thinking of putting either rims on a Silver R34 GT-T. Now I'm not sure which version it is (sparkling or sonic) but its the same colour as the one posted down there. EDIT: I've added the chrome version for more opinions on which version I should get.

scathing Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 As long as its a light enough silver I reckon you can get away with it. I look at the R34 Z-Tune, and in the shade the entire car just looks too dark. I'm not a big fan of the look, to be honest. What I did see that I liked was a light silver car with dark gunmetal rims. I saw an R32 GT-R with R34 GT-R wheels on it, and it looked hot.

scathing Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) On a silver car, I'd consider the Axis Hiro Anthracite. Anthracite (close enough to gunmetal) spokes, and a polished lip. Would look f**king hot. For proof, see the attached (they're Volk Racing LE37Ts, but you get the idea from the colour). Tempe Tyres' web site has the Hiro Anthracite on a pewter 350Z so it depends on what shade of silver you've got. I don't think gunmetal works on pewter.

_8OO5TED_ Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Ravs Vork Racing wheels, they are cheap I think. 18s with tyres are around the $1800 mark.

EvilINGT Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Shadow chrome looks real nice on a silver car, although i could be biased, as i have a set on my car .

Andi Posted April 26, 2006 Author Share Posted April 26, 2006 Thanks for all the replies guys. I'm definatly set on the above rims but not sure what colour to get, it comes in the black and chrome. I seriously want black as the rim by itself looks so hot but I'm not sure how it'll look on the car I plan to buy. I've did two chops of the chrome and black - the chrome jobbie isn't as 'clean' as it was harder to get the spokes looking nice. But with that job I must say the black does suit it pretty well. Also I've read that theres two different silvers in the R34 range? Sparkling and Sonic? Does anybody have pictures to show the difference? Actually I think I'll start a new thread about this. But what are you opinions on the chops? I personally prefer black and even though the chrome looks good, its just too 'plain' imo if you know what I mean.

RyanN Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 im going all black, when i eventaully stop being a tight wad and fork out for a set of rims. Black i think on a silver car would look pretty good, as mentioned above, the z-tune is hot!!!

EvilINGT Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 (edited) Bringing back a bit of an old thread but what about hyper black? I think the Lenso GT-05 is a bit of a rip of this wheel anyway .

Andi Posted August 28, 2006 Author Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) Ought to bring this thread back from the dead. Thought I'd show pictures of what the car looks like with these rims: not a bad match hey? What you guys reckon? I think some clear indicators would of set off the car perfectly.
