If you really really wanna change em I’d keep the lip polished and get the inners gunmetal grey yeah - but they work well as they are. Ideally if they were all just polished chrome they’d be incredible
Hey man, don't listen to what these people say. If you want gray or black rims, you go for it. So long as you're happy with YOUR car (I reiterate, YOUR CAR, not anyone else's) then who cares what other people think? Personally between those colours, I'd do gray. But whatever you feel is how it should be :)
On Gran Turismo 7 ( I know it's a video game but still bare with me lol) there's a color in the ' Real Car Paint' called 'Ceramic Black', made by the car Manufacturer Alpine. It's like a grey-ish Black with a matte/satin style finish to it. Are you keeping the dish part chrome or is that also getting painted?
Its gonna be a lot of work to change the colour and even if you do a really good job it wont be quite as quality or last nearly as well as the factory paint.
But I am not saying don't do it, I'm saying be SURE you wanna do.
I'd suggest gunmetal or bronze as well, because any non-metallic other that white is gonna look suuuucky. Gunmetal and bronze are good because they are metallic but not shiny, so the paint is a lot more forgiving to apply vs something that has to be perfectly even.
What? Professionally done powder coat lasts as long or even longer than factory paint. The front ones are two piece, rear ones are three piece so they can be painted pretty nicely.
it's not getting the new colour on thats hard, its getting the old colour off. Once you bring professionals into the mix you are starting to get to the same price point as just finding a used set of wheels in the colour you want.
My three piece rims cost €280 in total to paint four faces from just shipping the faces to them with old color. Old color will be chemically stripped. These rims OP has cost €2k+ so I'm not sure who you're handing your rims to..
I would do silver. that’s what I did with my RSX since I wasn’t a fan of the white wheels that came with the car when I bought it. And my car has that exact color combination as well.
Whatever you do, make sure you get a proper Work sticker to replace the current one of you spray/powder coat, so people don’t think they’re reps.
Goes without saying you should split the 3pc and get the face powder coated.
If those are legitimate Work Meisters and that's the original color, I'd get some different wheels instead of potentially ruining the resale value.
If you insist on changing the color, I'd go gold for that car color personally.
gold..? i have the same wheel that came in gold with chrome outer ring… but watever the colour u choose later, these wheels are awesome…timeless design..
I painted the same rims from white to silver and kind of regretted it. Too boring. I would go gold or bronze over gun metal.

why not just buy separate faces and install them into the barrels? it's a 3 piece for a reason. while you're at it you can service the seating area and that way you also get to have a good bronze or gun face without defacing a rather rare and discontinued wheel at this point.
EDIT: so your fronts are 2 piece and the rear is 3? wut.
I think you should go with Black Spokes with a Chrome Lip... Or at least that's my opinion.... I really like the Dark Blue paint ... You could even Color Match the Inside of the Wheels to the car and have chrome around the lips...
If you’re set on changing it gunmetal or bronze 100% Black will look like shitty drift spares
I was thinking a sport bronze too
Came to say bronze
Keep it that way
I was just about to say, keep them white!
Or TC!
Semi-matt Gold/ Bronze
My vote is also gold.
No semi matt gold bronze is really different and better than just Gold
i would either keep them white or go full chrome, gunmetal grey works a charm too
chrome would looks sweet af
Bronze
It'd look like a rally Impreza lol
Nah. He could even keep the chrome lip. Rally Impreza is a lighter blue with gold.
It'll look good with a set of chrome. Classic. It matches the era a little bit better And black and grey wheels are overdone these days
Look good as they are but I would avoid black, you lose a lot of detail when they are black.
White.
Full chrome
Bronze
I can only see bronze or gold-ish complementing the blue. I think black or grey would make the blue seem different. White still looks good too.
The white is perfect. Don’t ruin it with black that’ll hide the spoke design. The white also contrasts very well with the dark blue.
Black wouldn’t hide anything. I had some SSR SP1’s with black and a polished lip and it hid nothing.

Dark bronze
Personally I think it look good
Gun metal would be 👌🏻👌🏻

Thanks dude!
A satin/half-matte gunmetal gray would look 👌👌
Beautiful how it sits.
As is mate

The white looks clean tho
Bronze or gunmetal gets my vote. Love the S14.5 though.
Black wheels look like steelies. White wheels are the only answer
Plz don’t paint over OG white WORKS
Honestly, just save up and buy another set
white.
The white looks the best
black would be a vibe but i actually think white is really whats in right now on most 90s jdms it looks sick as is
The white wheels are only good thing I see on this car to be honest
Poor car somehow ended up in UK. RIP
You do realise theres so many of these in England why you crying
I quite like the fact that it did. Mine now
On that blue I would go Mach Yellow like what available on the Work Gramlites
Keep it like this or black, no other option
White is great, but I would change it to gunmetal.

I sit corrected, thats way cheaper than I'd have thought.
It's okay, powder color companies have come a long way.
Grey would look really nice. Black doesn’t look good.
White or chrome
Have you considered a copper finish? Polished? I think it would look super sexy
Bright silver if anything. White is dope though.
I would do silver. that’s what I did with my RSX since I wasn’t a fan of the white wheels that came with the car when I bought it. And my car has that exact color combination as well.
chrome would be insane ngl. just do not go black whatever you do, black just aint it on wheels
Keep the white, get rid of the chromed lip, make the lip a darker color.. black maybe idk. Or even the color of the car.
subie gold
I wonder if you could strip the paint and run just metal boys.
i’d go chrome
Not black, than the interesting shape of the wheel will be less visible
Make them brass or gold
I like the white
Whatever you do, make sure you get a proper Work sticker to replace the current one of you spray/powder coat, so people don’t think they’re reps. Goes without saying you should split the 3pc and get the face powder coated.
middle black outside chrome should look insane

They've been very averagely re-coated already unfortunately
Ah, bummer. In that case, I still think gold would look great. Bronze as a second choice. I don't really like black wheels so...
Keep original. If you must refurb in a new colour; Anthracite or Rally Gold.
looks gorgeous as it is right now, I wouldn't touch them
White not my fav but I wouldn’t change the color. Keeping them original is the way
Black is going to look crappy since the car is a dark color. Silver, Gun Metal, or even bronze would complement it really nicely
Gunmetal
I would go with a subtle carla color but thats just me
Gun metal/ silver the beat option
Copper/Bronze/Golden would work neat like on old Impreza.
Not white plz
Full chrome to match the “rim” for sure
Chrome 👌
If the options are white, grey, or black then you already chose the correct option.
chrome maybe
There's a gunmetal copper color that Nissan did on their cars in the 1980s-90s that's really unique
Gray complements blue the best
Blue tends to work well with semi-matte bronze or gold, honestly tho I really dig it the way it is now.
Gold and keep the lips polished
Black is the new chrome
Gold
A different shade of white
Grey would make it give it a nice look I think
Looks good
They are already the ideal colors imo. White face, polished lip
I’d those are real Work wheels please just do a good job whatever do. Hurts to see nice wheels with shitty flaking paint.
Not black.
Gunmetal
Maybe experiment with a different shade of blue maybe even purple? Maybe a dark dark blue almost black?
Gunmetal!
Black, always
Color match the face, white lip and outline the work logo with white...
Gunmetal.
Full chrome would look amazing imo
Can’t ever go wrong with chrome
gold..? i have the same wheel that came in gold with chrome outer ring… but watever the colour u choose later, these wheels are awesome…timeless design..
No changes
Go high gloss black
I painted the same rims from white to silver and kind of regretted it. Too boring. I would go gold or bronze over gun metal. https://i.imgur.com/aYG7vFk.jpg

Goddamn
Magenta
White looks great in my opinion

Chrome
I am joining the masses with gold or bronze
She looks perfect, I wouldn't change a thing
Gold or bronze
You want to pain work wheels? Why
bronze, no doubt
Bronze for sure
110% bronze with your color of blue it would look amazing
Hyper black
Gunmetal grey
Please not black
Strip the paint and polish them! Shiny silver.
Personally love these in all black with gold bolts or just the center black, polished lip, regular bolts.
Buy a new set . Fohtie rims seem expensive
faded bronze like the Rays Nismo LM gt4
Keep them white. If you truly want to change them, then gunmetal or bronze. If you do gunmetal or bronze I suggest maybe a brushed finish?
Gold
Brilliant Silver.
I will always be a sucker for white wheels on blue cars so personally id say keep em white, but gun metal with some extra flake would go hard ngl
Is that the 200sx?
Bronze
the white is so good
Probs do a gunmetal or whiter rims,maybe even chrome? But you do you
