What wheels are you going to go with? Those were cool with the other style the car had going. I think something more subtle would be more fitting.

I actually like the wheels that are on it already. I would like to get some nice name brand wheels, but I don't feel like spending any more money for a while.

...you might change your mind once I get my rocket bunny wing, and dmax roof wing installed.

Maybe paint them silver? Or white? Like the LMGT4s came in?

I honestly really love the color of the wheels. I think it looks really good with the paint.

I also got some brass and copper rivets to hold the rocket bunny wing on with, which will kind of tie it all together.

and I hate white wheels with a passion, I don't know why. worst color ever for wheels in my opinion.

you really think this doesn't look good?

I think he just wants to see more of a contrast with the gunmetal paint.

I personally am OK with the bronze wheels. Name brand wheels later down the road is definitely a must though, especially on a r32 GTR

yeah, I would really like to have some old school Stern wheels. they remind me of the wheels that they ran on the Calsonic GTR.

I agree that wheel color should contrast the color of the car, but I think bronze would contrast more than silver or white. I think silver would look too plain, and I don't like white wheels, too flashy for me.

this might be kind of hypocritical but if I wouldn't mind getting my wheels neo-chromed. that would be kind of stupid though, neo-chrome is expencive, and would probably cost as much as the wheels. it would be better to just save my money for nice name brand wheels.

I am happy with the bronze wheels, but I understand that not everybody has the same tastes as me. I honestly expected to get shit because of my wing that I'm going with, not the wheels. for some reason its trendy to not like rocket bunny wings, I guess they are played out, but I still like them. oh well.

LMGT1s painted bronze would look amazing on this car! Awesome work on the restoration!

You might want to use anodized rivets instead. I dont know about brass but I know the copper ones look bad after a couple weeks of weathering. The car looks EXCELLENT by the way.

Not saying OP is a drifter, nor he is going to drift it.

Referring to the mind set of a average 240sx drift guy. Lol

[Hatemy7]
