I don't think you should paint them.
They look great as is, you should drop the car a tad more though.
Also tint the front windows and I think youll be set.

and get some tints on those front windows!

But yeah, it's hard to duplicate the look and durability of factory finish, unless they're curbed horribly, I think it would be foolish to do anything to those.

If you decide you want them a different color, don't paint - plastidip!

I think it's a unanimous decision.
DON'T PAINT THEM!

If you have that money, you should throw an A-Spec body kit on your car.

Joining the G37 wheels

Hey man those wheels look good..especially since your TL is an SSM and the wheels do compliment the color.

I also have an SSM TL and about to install those wheels on..
I am doing some research but haven't found the exact metal hub rings to use to make the wheels fit our cars.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Can't go wrong with gloss black. Or as one has said, go for the aspec kit before you can no longer get one. since I heard they were already discontinued

Gunmetal, a member painted his G37 wheels the Type-S gunmetal/graphite color and it looks really sick.

I love how you guys reply about color when this thread was bumped from almost a year ago specifically for hub rings

It's the thought that counts.









Damn that's embarrassing.

Haha, I kept reading posts and thinking the same thing Tyler.

Hopefully OP figured out that lip kit was his best use of funds....although I apparently am the only one who thinks gunmetal would have popped better against SSM.
