All I can say is, holy s***. what rims you have on now?

 

Haha, Donut, one remaining/non cracked rim, Len's stock fronts.

 

This is insane. What are you gonna do now? Order stocks or aftermarket?

 

Another car at the autocross cracked a front , guess what , powercoated at the same shop.
Istan , the rest of my stockers are yours till you get you new wheels.

 

i know you trust the shop.. But have a strong feeling they are baking off paint.. and those wheels cant take it. Some can.. some cant.

 

2 Guys + 4/9 Rims cracking = Not good.

 

Nissan says PC, but know of some people cracking rims.
PC says Nissan, and say they do not heat the wheels past 200.

Regardless, not dealing with either companies again.

 

wha? even low temp PC, which almost nobody uses because its a pain, is a 230F+ cure temp (my PCer did 275F and still complained it didnt cure right) as far as I understand.

 

There is no process to PC wheels below 200 - unless you're PCing with frozen peas.

 

your pc'er is a liar. Unless hes talking in celcius, which i doubt.

I havent heard good things about low temp pc. My pc cures at 450f till flow out and the 400f for 20 minutes.

 

Blah, I give up with them.
Thanks terrasmak for the loaned wheels.

 

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has opened a case file on cracked Nissan wheels. Go to this link:

http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/pr...fectsearch.cfm

and type "PE06050" in the window below where it says "NHTSA Action Number" to get the details.

Or search by vehicle (06 Nissan 350Z) to find "EA07005" which is the new investigation.

Thoughts?

 

I cannot stress this enough, for the love of everything, please do not powdercoat/Chrome these rims.
