What about colors other than flat black. Maybe glossy or gunmetal? To me they looked a little cheapened on IP.

looks good, but to make it even all around you have to do a black roof and some dark tints.

haha i already got some 17% all around and i'm planning to get Bat's overlays for both the headlights and tailights and roof.

yup im also thinking about doing gunmetal but it was just easier to do flat black on photoshop unless someone can help me PS gunmetal rims onto there.

just leave the stock color..no need to make it different color..just save for new rims..stock color looks fine anyways..powder coating makes it look cheap..and g37 is sure not cheap.

Still not liking the flat back, sorry

I'd try to get a photoshop of glossy, gunmetal and maybe even white before I really do it. You don't want to commit on something then later regret it.

I bought some powdercoated 18" rims for my 350z that came with the 17" rims... it looked good, when they were clean... When they were dirty, they looked horrible, my opinion is to stay with the stock color or get some wheels that still have some shine to them.

I think a glossy black would look better. A dark black that shines IMO would look great. The flat black looks a little boring and dull.
