Black wheels? Oh well, different strokes for different folks. I would swap the cheesy neonesque headlamps for the jdm projector HID's. Those make the car look 100% better. Add a nice BOV and turn the boost up too..

Well, you have to use a high heat paint (engine paint) to prevent chips.....I have had no problems with mine so far and the ones I had on my Z ran for 6 months at the track and just normal wear.

Nice license plate.

Does anyone know the history of the terms "dubs" ?

The P1s are just too played out, I'd personally go with something different.

Those Racing Hart CP035/Rota Subzeros look like they have a gunmetal finish with a polished lip. I like how that looks just fine, but I am still not a fan of matte black finishes on any wheel... with or without the polished lip.. especially on the stock wheels... but if it works for you then it doesn't matter... hehe..

To me the stock wheels are much more played out than the P1s, with or without a color change. Yeah there are lots of other choices available.
