It's not, it's actual titanium color.
Dunno if anyone does titanium plating... I think titanium "look" paint job would be pretty lame.

Correct it'ss a titanium look/ color etc....
I guess it would be ok if it was lame cause you dont have to drive the car :-)

I'm not knocking the look, I think the look is fine... I just think it's a little silly to do it with paint, even though it might be the cheapest way to pull it off. :D

Just googled it and it looks like aurora coating would get you a similar finish. Still not sure who here locally can do it though. I remember seeing a powercoating shop in the downtown area, so i might try and stop by and call them.

Honestly, I don't really like it, but then again I would rock wheels that were painted house of kolor hot pink pearl with a polished lip... So I don't know if you would want my opinion on wheels haha... Your idea of candy apple red with a polished lip sounds awesome though! That's something I would definitely like to see!
Might look similar to this if you did the red and I LOVE most things about this car:

Candy apple red to go with them gangster wheels...
Or sell them and get wheels that actually look good on a 350Z since there are a ton out there :ohnoes:

If you paint them red, your a hipster. Look at most of these Z's online...they are all starting to switch to red/blue/orange wheels...
Hipster.
