Get yourself some Sears discount tires to match.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Though everyone's opinion often varies, the overwhelming consensus would be rattle cans and HRE wheels are not to mix-ever. Personally I am a fan of the color, just the center. In the end you created more work as eventually the paint will need to be stripped off. Not trying to be a downer as I know how it is to put blood and guts into something and then being in a position of doubt afterwards. Been there many times myself. But you have to try.
