ZZZ_2306 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just bought myself a black 370Z and saw a similar car with with Rays forged 19s done in high gloss piano black, what is everyones thoughts? Is it too much black on black? I'm undecided, tempted but undecided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Looks great, I just changed my wheels to matt black Rays on my black 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Personally I think black on black is really played out. Some like it, some don't, up to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any photos buddy? Look on the last page of my build thead some pics on there from last week. The wheels are in need of a bit of TLC at the moment. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59822-zeditis-begins-with-pics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Personally, I'm not a fan, when you take pictures, there's no wheels visible, when the car is moving it looks like you have steel wheels on. Have you thought of a gunmetal colour? Dark enough to still look moody, but light enough that you can still appreciate the lovely alloys the 370 has? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is my dilemma at the moment, to go more with the black edition styling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Once you go black... Black wheels on black cars are ace. I love mine, although I do have a silver lip to highlight the shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatooandy67 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Anthracite looks sweet IMO, dark enough to look non standard but more subtle than black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Black on black, as said, get lost in my eyes and can look naff. I did a set of wheels BMW gunmetal once, they came out superb. If you want dark, go dark anthracite or something in my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZZ_2306 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) That's what I thought but apparently that's a standard GT Edition? Edited June 30, 2014 by ZZZ_2306 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZZ_2306 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 Decided that I am going to give them a go in Piano Gloss Black, think it looks mean on the 370Z, will post some pics up when they are done, had a look at Anthracite and the Black Edition wheels but just want them a bit darker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively just a hyper silver with a black overspray. My old Mazda MPS came with that finish as standard. Im considering doing the wheels on my Z, and will probably go for a dark gunmetal type colour, similar to the 40th editions. I feel that dark grey look perfect against a black car. However, my dream wheels are these: Edited July 9, 2014 by ross27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZZ_2306 Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 Ahh bugger it I'm going to go with Piano black what's the worst that can happen, just get them stripped back and redone in a few months if I don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
