Seems to me the stock color is close to gunmetal. I like the black contrast with a white car, but it does need that stripe to separate the wheel from the tire, imo, would like to see that.....

I havent seen a white time attack stripe done yet..that's why I want it

Gold would look good too, but I'm just gonna stick with the black/white theme all over

I agree with BJ. white on black wheels is a little played out.
Go for a dark gunmetal, like the stock GTR wheels.

I think it might have been around 150 a wheel. I don't remember the exact amount cause the tire shop payed for it after they fvcked up the finish on all of them putting on new tires.
