Whats people's thoughts on having the rims on the Nismo powdercoated to the magnesium blue of the volks te37's, only reason i'm asking is cause i got a silver car but with the red/grey/black nismo graphics kit, wat cha'll think?

a pic of my car, i'm somewat mixed cause of the graphics....

 

well if u change it, it wont be a collectors car anymore..
otherwise, why not?!

 

thats true but i've seen alot of guys with nismo's going with the classic volk te37 or ce28 setups, and i actually like these ray's and since they are unique only to the Nismo Z, why not invidualize it more with going with a classic Volk color? iono, just sumthing i've been thinking about for subtle changes but still retaining the Nismo hardware, no reason to buy new rim's when these are just as good.

 

A pic of the color just for fyi, also i plan to keep the NISMO decals on the rims if possible

 

I like the them stock cause they match the trim all around, but in your case i believe that the blue will look really nice with the silver...

 

sorry, i really hate that blue color. looks so out of place on a silver car, especially with the graphics

 

Not to hijack your thread, but I accidently scratched around the lug nuts when putting the wheel back on and chiped around the lug opening, not too bad but noticeable nonetheless, any ideas on where or how to fix that, can they color match it? thanks any info would be helpful

 

Just leave it alone, it looks nice right now

 

i would keep it the same.

 

To the OP:
They would look ok, but not with the nismo graphics you have on the car now.


If you chipped the original nismo wheel then yes, you can use touch up paint - buy from nissan the paint code is K11. Matches perfectly. I had to do the same on one wheel.

 

 

S-tune

 

i figured as much, i'ma use the $$$ to do a brake upgrade then, rotors, pads, and lines with some fresh fluid, that'll be the next purchase in mid april, i left it as R-tune on the graphics jus cause, the car is greatness and i feel it should be r-tune, iono tho, for 42 g's, yea....i'm sticking with the R...

 

messing with you man...

can't wait to see my super stock nismo chase yours

 

I say leave them stock. But that is just my 2 cents. It your toy do what ever you want with it. Great looking car by the way. Love the color!

 

Have someone photoshop the color. I love the mag blue but I think it only belongs on a white car. It's just one of those colors that is hard to match up with certain paint.

 

How would you go about getting the Mag Blue powdercoated on you Nismo wheels? Are you going to send them back to Rays Engineering? The only reason Im asking this, is because they don't release the color codes so are you just going to take them into a wheel shop and say "best match"? Otherwise, I say go for it - you'll be different

 

Thats great! yeah they are original nismos. Any pics of your wheel that you fixed? Thanks

 

no i don't but it was a tiny spot and it is literally perfect.

 

thanks man, will do.
