damn the black looks good, but I think nissan had the color right the first time.  My vote is for silver.

Yeah, I'd stick with the silver.   Why do you need to repaint them?

My clear coat has kinda spiderweb lines through it on all 4, but to make it worse, I had a brake fluid leak that messed up one of them even more <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

I was kinda leaning toward silver anyway, but thought black would be kinda neat...I guess not <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'>

I like black, but you can always go for a "gunmetal" look.

That's what I plan to do to my rims.

Here is a pic to give you an idea:

The black black black/ gunmetal looks pretty nice on your car, but silver is nice and never gets old and this is coming from a guy with white wheels......white wheels......(subliminal messages never fail) white.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'>

Oh, man, I like that gunmetal almost as much as I do the silver.

Is your car as dark as it looks in that picture, or is that the lighting. If it is dark then go with gunmetal not black.


IIRC someone had a very nice silver color, close to stock but a little brighter.

paint each spoke different color. &nbsp;So when your moving, it'll have a mushed up brown look <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

dark gunmetal looks good on Rob's car... sorry I can't find a better quality picture
