Yeah yeah yeah another stock Z, I know. If you're gonna hate because it's stock then just press the back button I don't need to hear anymore of that. I know it's stock...

Anways, I decided to paint my wheels flat black, and honestly it came out pretty well!! Enjoy!! C&C are welcome. (besides you're stock comments ) Sorry for sh!tty camera pics, will do photoshoot soon with a buddy of mine





Had to park next to this Silver GTR I spotted!!!!

 

I like it your car looks clean with black wheels

 

Looks nice, what are you lowered on?

 

Tell the GTR he needs to learn how to park. Add some spacers to the stock wheels, it'll look a ton better.

 

I wouldn't really say that the Z is stock, since its lowered. Those stock wheels are probably the only ones that actually look pretty good painted black.

 

It looks stock.

 

Awesome! More pics of your GT-R please.

 

Looks fine.

Does need spacers though, your painting made that more obvious.

 

Unpainted looks better. IMO painting stockers look cheap.

Ps. Your car is soo stock. LOL.

 

Why did you paint them in the first place? Just curious to hear the reason instead of getting something else.

 

Thanks, I'm lowered on Tanabe NF210s

Yup, already one step ahead of yah hopefully next weekend I'll be painting my headlight housings and buying some 15mm or 20mm spacers allaround.

No way man, that thing has so many mods on it. Look at it! Can't you see? hahaha. Jerk.

Because I'm a poor college student that was bored one day and wanted something different. haha. I mean if you can find me a set of some Volk TE37's for 30 bucks. I'll buy em.



Oh, and that's not my GTR I just found it at a parking lot. Thanks for the comments guys! Will post better pics soon, probably after I bake my headlights and paint the housings!

 

Nice. That GT-R looks huge parked next to your Z.

 

car looks great honestly!

spacers would make the stance a bit more aggressive........see here:

Yeah seriously, when I parked next to it I had this face no lie, I never knew the car was that big. Pretty damn sexy though, looks like a freakin robot raedy to f **** up.


Thanks for the link Jason!!

 

^what he said

 

That's because it is. They don't call it Godzilla for nothing.

 

I'm in the same situation. I have the same wheels in chrome and I don't want nice wheels being that I'm in school and there just gonna get beat up. How well is the paint holding up.. What kind of paint did you use ? How many layers? And I hear rumors that oem wheels that are painted can't handle the tire machine tire shops throw them on. I guess the speed it spins at starts cracking the paint???

I think it looks great for an inexpensive DIY mod. Nicely done

 

Thanks, I was pretty drunk when doing it so i don't really remember how many coats I did, I wanna say about 3-5? w/ 2 layers of clear coat. I went to auto parts store (auto zone, pep boyz, and etc) I found some high performance wheel spray paint, and high performance wheel clear coat. I'm sure it doesn't matter what kind of spray paint you use, I just bought the high performance wheel paint just to stay on the safe side. It's so far holding up great!! No crackin' or anything yet.

 

bahaha thats awesome. Did you sand them down first before you started applying you paint?

 

dont paint ur headlights. stop. and dont smoke your tails
