Reply With QuoteI am kind of leaning towards the silver...I just think the whole dark with polished lip look is a little played out.
Ima order some 19" 3 piece fully forged WORK Meister S1's today and i need to be final on colour...the two choices i like are Gunmetal or silver with polished step lip...
as there custom they take 6-8weeks from Japan.
Heres a shot in silver and black,there 2 piece though...
Heres one in gunmetal...three piece too...the ones im getting however will have a 90mm rear lip and 70mm front,so im not planning huge brakes on the front...i like lip,and we can always get another front set later in life if we do get a BBK.
Im thinking too much silver...
reason for the change is performance/looks...there close to 3Kgs each lighter than my milanos...and im going to change to 225 fronts for better clearance,even less wieght,have thought about going to a 9" rim and stretching the front 235 onto the rear...but maybe not so good with the increase in HP im expecting.
Anyhow let me know your comments on colour(colour only!,unless its positive)

Fair comment man!,however i sort of feel like i need a break from silver...can always re-paint the centre any colour later also...hmmmm.

I would go for the silver ones.
Gunmetal, it would add some contrast to all the silver on your car and regardless if it looks played out theres a reason for that, it just looks good! =) Go with your gut.

well if your up for repainting them i would go with a hyper black with a polished lip since you have a silver car. i think that would look hott but that's just my opinion!

I was surprised at how many people chose silver here and on amgpower.com when I asked a similar question.
I didn't want to go too dark myself. My personal preference is the middle color here:
(you can't have your brightness too high and contrast too low on your monitor to see the difference)
But when I get my rims back from Kinesis I expect they're going to be the color of the right-most one tho; I was told the Anodizer they use probaby couldn't do the middle color.
I was just about to PM you too!...Originally posted by c55m8o

I like the colour on the right!...not too dark...should go well with the silver...do you have a colour number for it?

Interesting question. I don't. The person I've been dealing with has been rather obscure regarding color anodizing ... constantly telling me about the inexactness of it and how the 'grain' of the aluminum can affect the outcome, making it hard to match the same color across all the rims and requiring them to redo the anodizing @ times.Originally posted by 23K

Is there a 'color standard' you are referring to that I can use as context in posing the question of Kinesis?
Interesting for sure...i just called my paint shop and they said theres no commen numbers for all paints...just between the same brand...so im wrong on the numbers theory...Originally posted by c55m8o

i may just have to get a colour chart...but how does the guy in japan know exactly what colour i want!....hmmm and then theres the fact colour charts are very hard to pick colours off as they never look the same once applied...
I would have thought there was a colour standard...or MIX standard like 304 blue plus 567 yellow gives 120 green etc?!?!?!

nice!! wWork wheels huh.. win some money dude!! jokes..
well if you had a black car id say go for the really black rims the
g35 has.. but since your car is silver id say go for a lighter colour then black.. but not silver.. you need a slight contract on your wheels.. so the gunmetal type finish.. or slightly darker.

I agree with whoever said black w/ polished lip is a fad, and one I think is going out. if you're going away from silver (which looks SO good on your car), i'd stick with the gunmetal, mate.
p.s. I still want your Axis rims. real bad.
Gunmetal or slightly lighter it is!...Iv just been in contact with the suppliers so am awaiting a colour chart from WORK before i pay deposit so we get it right the first time!
Yea i'll have to sell them on now....Probly wont get much for them either!...
