Here is my Z:












Here are the three rims I can't decide between:

I used wheel cleaner on my wheels and it ate away my clear coat and bothers me a LOT, so I want new rims. I can't powder coat these because they are cast aluminum and I have heard bad stories about powder coating cast aluminum.

That's what spray paint's for!! It works really great. So far my flat black is holding pretty damn well, same with my friends glossy watermelon pink on his Rota's.

I don't think I would ever spray paint my rims. I think after a few months it will start to look like crap.. even if done right.

I believe those are Rotas. The same company that copy/steal rim designs from other companies like Volks, Advan ...
