Here's the thing Brian. I'm pretty sure you will be the only one to pull it off. Maybe try other forums?

I have seen those wheels for sale more than a month ago I think on my 350z forum. I can't picture any other color but WDP pulling those off and it would also have to have orange mirrors

Question: why do you go through wheels so fast? I personally love this look and think you should keep it.

to "complete" the look I would have wrapped the front grill with the orange, did the bar above the rear plate orange and def something on the tails orange.but you change your wheels too often to modify other parts of the car to match..lol. I dont know if im feeling the tails tho.but to each its own. either way good luck..

It's not October yet! Lol, I'd black Crome dem bishes. Why did you get rid of the type-s front? Trade someone?

Time for a new set of wheels? The car will look slick again. I was never too fond of the orange. Different and unique though, that's for sure.

From what it seems, he still has his Type-S front. It's just equipped with a base A-Spec.
Note the curvature of the fogs.



The pics could use a polarizer.
Car looks great! Needs a bit orange somewhere, though... just not sure where.
Most obvious places may make it start looking tacky, imo.

You sold your Nikon, didn't you? If so... too bad.
I do agree with you that it would be overdone.
I just feel that it could use a very small amount of orange elsewhere. But... I may be only saying that cause of the Porsche GT3RS

Personally I think it needs more accents of orange, maybe along the aspec to draw the eye along the car. As is looks a little incomplete, maybe try photoshop and see how you feel about it?

I like it but it is pretty "wild" for me. I go a lot more conservative with mods, like curb feelers, dice on the mirror, fender vents, stick on hood scoops, etc...
