Say what you think, The colour didn't look so bright on the rim they had in the showroom, im wishing id gone for a darker colour now im not sure. I tried to get them painted the original colour but neither Nissan or BBS would give the code. Im considering getting them redone... at least they are repaired now anyway.


vs before

Odd they wouldnt give you the code- must be a trade secret or something. I think the colour is ok, the GTR wheels look good in any colour

Yeah they look fine mate, I wouldn't waste your money doing them again. Might as well wait until they get tatty again and re-done them darker, but I think they look good as they are.

I understand the desire to keep the wheels as OEM as possible, I would want to do the same tbh but the lighter colour against the dark body look better now than before in my opinion.

BBS said they couldn't give the paint code out, only Nissan could, like a privacy/confidentiality agreement or something.

I had a Saab 9-3 convertible courtesy car to drive while they did my wheels, what a terrible car, it was a manual but the delayed reaction when changing gear or accelerating reminded me of an automatic, handled badly & was worse on fuel than the modded S15. Made me appreciate my car more than I already did!

Look good but prefer the oem colour if i'm honest. As above not worth changing them now as silver does work well on your car :nod:
