Space Cadet Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 What about if it’s a mid-grey (Titanium) car then?!.... I don’t disagree with you, but there are so many examples of dark cars with dark wheels and vice-versa that I think its on a case by case basis. With regards my mid-grey car, I'm only talking about having them done a few shades darker, so they wont be as dark as say the Nismo wheels but will be noticeably darker than the standard silvery finish. Much the same as after a couple of weeks of road grim and brake dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Different wheels, but just to give you an idea of different combos of shadow/black chrome etc... http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/77963-wheels-finally-refurbished/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Cadet Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks, they look great, your shadow-chrome on the outers looks darker than my standard silvery shadow-chrome and is exactly what I'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatooandy67 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Anthracite metallic gets my vote. The same colour as the Clio 182's look good, again this is just preference absolutely agree I'm having my 19" rays done in anthracite booked in feb 17th think darker wheels look very smart against lighter colour zeds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbonesmcgee Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Thanks, are they a darker version of the normal 370Z shadow-chrome, or just a dark metallic-grey? It's definitely not just a standard metallic grey - it's a two stage finish to give a 'smoked' effect. You can get some idea of the colour in this picture of my car. My first Z had the standard colour and it looked like a normal silver although I believe that's also a two stage finish. If you want I'll take a better picture of the wheel at the weekend and post it up. Current car this This is exactly the colour I want my wheels to be, but how to explain it. Does it have a name? Darker shadow chrome?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
