Not everyone can afford a set of Volks or really nice rims, you had a budget and you did the best you could within that budget and it turned out looking great like my previous statement noted. Gives the car a pretty nice stance and +1000 on being better than buying some cheap *** wheels. I'd rather see more people doing wiser things with their money and doing what you did than to buy some awful looking wheels.

+1...I agree...in fact I might do this to my 05 SB.
Seems like a good thread to ask this, but I plan on running the stock 17s on my '04 w/ 245/45/17 FRONT and 255/45/17 REAR tires and 25 mm spacers all around. Do we think this will rub? Can I still do this after getting rolled fenders?
Yea I painted them myself, put a lot of man hours and about $50 of supplies.
Thanks to Blasian for the constant question answering ^_^
Good stuff man. I duplicolored my Audi's stockers awhile back and have been itching to do it to my Z. Powdercoating's out of my budget right now, but If done correctly paint can be quite durable and looks very nice as you have displayed. Since it's somewhat relevant, I'll take the opportunity to ***** my old car...
Cheers man, and again, good work!
I'm doing mine this weekend. Did you use that wheel paint from the auto parts store? I got a can of that and a can of clear. I was just gonna clean em up good with some brake cleaner and spray em with a few coats.
Does it have any vibration with the spacers? I ask because I have the same setup as you and with my aftermarket rims it has a vibration with the spacers.

You need sandpaper(to ruff up the factory finish; 320-400 grit will be good), a degreaser, Duplicolor primer, Duplicolor wheel spray paint, and Duplicolor clear coat(it's best not to mix and match brands). Outside temp should be around 70 degrees for best results, and wait 48 hours for the paint to fully cure before subjecting the wheels to any heavy cleaning agents/scrubbing.
