oh man, no red please...
I'd love to see it in a much darker version of the 350z orange/bronze.
I'm sure it'll look great, those are wide wheels indeed... what sizes front/rear?

I've got a suggestion on the color. If you don't like it, then no problem. How about some metallic silver base, followed by a few coats dark gray metallic, and top it off with about 5 coats or pearlescant clear?

Yup their SP-1's, I heard that they are discontinuing those rims though. I can't really make up my mind with the paint right now and will probably figure it out when they get to that point.

don't paint it super glossy. anything that has that wide of body should have the power to back it up, which means it should be driven, which means you will get rock chips and such. i think it would look awesome if you painted it satin white with a very slight hint of blue. you have to really look close to see that its blue.

Vice, I have put that in mind as well while building this car and really am not to worried about it. I was planning on putting it in a good amount of car shows after it is finished and then will be using it as a street car again. I just can't wait to get it out of the shop to get back to racing all the trash talkin ricers and v8's.
