Uncle SRG wants you!

Whats up guys

So i know there have been posts before about what color someone should paint their rims....
I personally love the stock rims however, i would definitely consider powder-coating them another color (well professional done, not me)

I have a black g37s with the stock rims, i just got my black grill...getting my headlights done by 180customs and tailights i'm gonna have tinted...

What color would go really well with the black body?

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

I am with kverd. Too much black just doesn't work for me on these cars. I really like the contrast wheels, headlights, and tails can provide on the OB. Keep the wheels stock, just play with how you lower it and spacers. That is the best look in my opinion, unless you are going aftermarket wheels.

I don't mind the look of the painted headlights on OB. But definitely don't tint the tails. Stock wheels will look great with a drop and some spacers to push them out. Maybe keep the shroud on the headlights chrome?

these are the headlights i wanted




ALSO, see, i'm not too familiar with spacers and pushing them out, like that i really have never dealt with. I had cars that i had dropped and stuff like that, but never with spacers and a drop so i would have no idea what to do and how to do it right (obviously once again i mean the mechanic doing it)

Seach for spacers in just the title...LOTs of stuff will come up. There is alot to take into consideration. Wheels...drop...tires...camber...all of that will effect how flush you get, which in turn makes the decision on what size spacers you need.

Do what stoof says. Lol.

What size spacers should he use stoof?

OP. the headlights and tail tint look good to me. Maybe match the headlights some how to the color you PC your rims.

I'll give you my .02 on spacers because I'm working through it right now too.

Eibachs + 20mm spacers(make sure you get hubcentric...I'd recommend H&R) = pure sexy. Gives you solid stance, pretty flush, and no rubbing. This is with stock tires. If you go with more of a square tire(stocks are pretty stretched), you might want to get 15mm front spacers, but I think 20 is fine no matter what personally. I don't think you'll rub...the look will just be different and that is where personal taste comes into play.

g37Sam has this set up....search for it = MONEY

that looks really bad ***. See, my only concern is, stuff like rubbing or any other issues that can happen. I just dont want the headache. Like can something happen with the suspension if it's dropped with the spacers? i just really have on idea what spacers are for. I am also really concerned about the drive...like i do not want that bouncy drive...does that occur?

All spacers do is push the wheels out on the car.

I rubbed on the bumper bracket slighty but was able to trim it, but thats also with wider tires. With the Eibach springs I will admit they are pretty bouncy at times. If you are worried about ride quality than you should just go with a set of coilovers. That way you can adjust everything how you want. A lot of people say the Tanabe coils ride really well.
