350z wheels, WHAT COLOR?
So Ive had these 350z wheels on for a while now and they have scuffs and such(no curb rash) so I wanted to bead blast them or sand them down to get the scuffs off but for the life of me idk what color to paint them. I thought maybe the silver color again, or bronze... idk thats why Im posting.
What color should I go with? Give me your honest opinions.
The car as it sits right now(it needs a bath I know)

Color on the car is forest green, I wanted something different but not flashy. The door handle was left under painted on purpose(all my friend tell me to paint it too).
As far as the rims I never intended on painting them neon pink or neon green ha(insert 240sx joke here) but forest green is an odd color to find something that goes with it... black would hide them more than I'd want, but don't think I haven't thought about it. White imo is for super clean/straight cars and mine is far from... on the passenger side.
If it comes down to it Ill buy spray paint white black and any other color that's mentioned and try it out. When I find one that I like Ill get em powder coated.

They look good. I've never seen Z wheels on a FC. They are 18s, right? Did you have to use spacers or roll your fenders to make them work?
One thing you might consider would be to keep the barrel silver and then paint the spokes and center the same color as your car.

Thank you derekcat haha i also taped of the rx7 decal on the back to match.
Wheel specs are 18x8 front and 18x8.5 rear. Idk the offset but I didn't need spacers and the front had to be rolled slightly(fender liners removed) for the 225/40-18 direzzas the rear has 235/50-18 pilot sports and I just had to pound the lip around the edge of the wheel well. But I'm on cut springs and haven't rubbed yet... someone on stock suspension prolly wouldnt have to worry.

Definitely do not paint them black. IF you really want to paint them, go with a slightly darker silver. Not gunmetal, though. I vote that you keep them the way they are. They look great.

I would probably go with a gun metal with a black base to darken it a little bit just my opinion I had an mx3 about the same color and that combo looked really good together I have a set of those exact same wheels sitting at my shop that I was thinking about putting on my car

+35 front; +30 rear IIRC
I had a 2006 350z for 5 years. These rims are stock rims for 2005 anniversary edition Z's and all 2006+ 350z's.
These are actully great offsets for the FC if you put proper size tires on them. 215/35/18 up front and 235/35/18 in back would be good.
