ShinHed Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm in the process of color matching my wheels at the moment, and have been having a hard time trying to find the exact color and finish I want. Basically I want a factory color "Mag" 'watanabe - mag' I intend to get them powder coated so a paint code is a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corzette Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm in the process of color matching my wheels at the moment, and have been having a hard time trying to find the exact color and finish I want. Basically I want a factory color "Mag" 'watanabe - mag' I intend to get them powder coated so a paint code is a good start. I just mounted some 15s just like the one you have pictured. They look good. I also have some that are silver but I like the Gun Metal grey better. Heres a sample http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dhakosuka%2Bpics&w=730&h=480&imgurl=www.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fimages%2Fhakosuka_40.jpg&size=72.8&name=hakosuka_40.jpg&rcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fpages%2Fhakosuka_40.htm&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.irex-jp.com%2Fshiryo%2Ftoyokawa041123%2Fpages%2Fhakosuka_40.htm&p=hakosuka&type=jpeg&no=2&tt=207 Looks just like mine...

Sonethirty Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would go with silver if you plan on having them powder coated. Personally I would like a set with a lower offset and powder coated center with a chrome lip. The gunmetal does look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinHed Posted February 2, 2008 Author Share Posted February 2, 2008 I don't think silver will compliment the color I plan to have my car painted, Canteen Green D13. Mine are 2-piece. FD Lights for sale. Name your price:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zardilla Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Canteen green is the same color I'm thinking of as the original color on my Z is the factory green. Gunmetal wheels are what I'm considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 this is the same exact color scheme i want. I even asked the watanabe dealer at the JCCS show if getting watanabe paint was available. he made it seem like it was more trouble than it was worth.
