Drax240z Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Not a big fan of how they look in the side view with those wheels... Too bad though, I like the wheels on your car normally. Where did you get the ZG's and what do you think of the quality of the part you recieved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wigenOut-S30 Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 I got them from a seller on ebay. they are from japan, the quality is not bad at all.. came with hardware and rubber insulater to go between the fenders and flare as well.. yeah thats what I was thinking as well.

z-REX Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The flares look awesome, but somehow they're making your wheels look smaller. Could be an illusion... but that's what I'm seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheeler Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I think the flares look awesome too. The wheel color would not be my fisrt choice but none the less the car looks great still. What size wheel are those anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayz Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 once the tape is off, It will look awesome. i beleive the white line ( the tape) makes it weird. Nice combo in my opinion!! EL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartman Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Something looks wierd on the side view...maybe it is the white line of the tape throwing it off. For some reason your tires do look a little narrow as well, I don't know why since they're probably wider than mine (maybe the tread pattern?).

mark Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I think the car would look better if the wheels were the same color as the flairs. Looks like a gun metal color on the flairs. Those wheels would look great that color. jmho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannji Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 The pics are kind of dark... so its hard to tell... but it appears you have the sills, dam, and rear valance flat black... in a couple of the 3/4 shots it looks like you do, and the flares looked good to me. I think if the pics were lighter and this was more apparent, and the white tape wasnt visible, it would look better. I like it in general, I think... but I think if there is that flat black area it helps.... otherwise they might look better in a lighter gunmetal or chrome grey that would compliment your rims.

CruxGNZ Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys.. keep em coming. Looks like the front wheels need to move a little further outboard, maybe 1/2"?. The color of the wheels looked great when you didn't have flares, but now it looks like they should be the same color as the flares like Mark mentioned.

Guest ON3GO Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 paint the flares bronze, same color as the wheels. it will make the car! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2126 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 IMO, the Z would look way better by just lowering it about 3/4" to 1". This would certainly resolve the issue of the tires/wheels looking too small for the wheel wells! Just my opinion. Overall it looks great, even though your rims aren't a style I would use. Now install a set of the 3 pc. Panasports with the correct amount of dish and you'll be getting rave reviews and chicks dying to meet you! Again, just my opinion.

tannji Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yeah, I am going to agree with Mike, if ya have the guts, paint the flares like you did the rims. I also think it needs to be lowered, or else go with 18" rims, which would obviously be impractical for any number of reason, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastzcars Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 2126 IMO, the Z would look way better by just lowering it about 3/4" to 1". This would certainly resolve the issue of the tires/wheels looking too small for the wheel wells! Just my opinion. . I'm with 2126. just a little lower.

Chewievette Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm going to go against the grain here and say that it's perfect the way you have it mocked up! For once I Love those color wheels! On a side note, I love the rear spoiler treatment! That's exactly what I've been thinking about doing. What spoiler did you start with?

Guest 280ZForce Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 definately paint match to the wheels...whatever wheels u decide w/. it will make the car stand out and make the flares look proper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I'm going to go a completely different way from many here: DON"T PAINT THE FLARES THE SAME COLOR AS THE WHEELS! You have a lot of flat black going on the car: airdam, rear spoiler (can't tell for sure), and the strip of flat black along the bottom of the car. That "theme" carries just fine with the flat black ZGs. If you go bronze, things are going to get a little strange looking IMO. Be careful before you do it and try to photoshop something FIRST before spraying!!! Oh yes, your car will look better lowered 1" with the size of tire & rim you have. Just my $.02 Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
